on the menu for HD15.
Will it be bachelor #2, Gordon "Chaps" Klingenschmitt, last known for b
Wow, difficult choice for the voters there with three such stellar candidates.
A perfect example of the kind of safe district where a piece of toast bearing the correct letter designation, R or D, will win regardless. One of these wackos will be the candidate and, at this lowly state legislature level, most voters won't know anything about any of them except whether they are R or D.
It doesn't matter which is more or less stupid or crazy and no D alternative, as you say, is even on the menu. Such is the democratic process in a country where hardly anybody could name any but the very top office holders, where most proudly declare they don't pay any attention to politics but are equally proud of their strong and definite opinions based on the absolutely nothing they brag about knowing. Somehow I don't think this is exactly what our founders were hoping for.
You owe "toast" an apology, BC. Whadaya got against warm, crusty bread???
mmmm…. not a thing. But it isn't very bright.
"~~In 2012, Mike decided to leave Sherman & Howard LLC to start his own firm with three other lawyers. His leadership has caused the firm to continue to expand, providing a variety of jobs to a number of Springs residents."
Mike seems like a nice, conservative guy. He has a very cute family. However, the law firm he is a part of seems to have been started by Joann Schmitz who was later joined by Lewis and later still by Kuhn followed by Swan, thus we have Schmitz Lewis Kuhn Swan PC. In my view, it is a bit misleading to imply he started his "own" firm. He joined and established firm and his name was added. He may want to clear that part up just a tad bit.
The other two guys are absolute dreck. They should be an embarrassment to their party, except that their party has degenerated to its sorry current state and now embraces the disreputable and the shameless.
There are, actually, other candidates: Joshua Key, who seems like a less cute, slightly older version of Michael Kuhn (same TP politics, less artfully worded). Key has no money disclosures filed, and his committee only registered February 28.
There is also a Democratic woman, Lois Fornander, (no campaign website yet), who only filed her candidacy for HD15 on March 14. She is, judging by her FB page, a member of Moms Demand Gun Sense. If the voters in her district have any sense, many will vote for her.
Here is a little more information about that Democraatic woman running for HD 15: I believe in protecting our beautiful environment, which includes developing renewable energy resources rather than subsidizing fossil fuels. I believe in protecting human rights regardless of gender, ethnicity or sexual preference. I am very concerned about the rising economic inequality in the USA and believe that the diminishment of respect for worker’s unions and the deregulation of business and banking practices have contributed significantly to the problem. As a former educator, I am disturbed by the politicization of public education. The myth that privatization will cure the ills of our public institutions—e.g., schools, prisons, post offices, social security, Medicare, and other fundamental public services—amounts to turning the operation of those institutions over to profiteers. The Supreme Court’s Citizen’s United decision has turned our election process into a charade: Money is not speech and corporations are not people. We need to protect every person’s voting right and get money out of politics. Rather than waste billions on elections, we should use that money to reinforce the social safety net—until we can rebuild the future of the 99%. And yes, I am a proud member of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.
Thanks and welcome to Pols, Lois!
