He's working hard to win this race, has tremendous support and standing by his word with a clean campaign. Just read one of his flyers that was passed out in the community and we are also looking for a mayor that will be fair to all mankind. What about the city employees, those poor people have not had any raises in so many years, the police are overworked, with all the out of town cruisers, do they have enough officers to drive them?

How does one uncontested county judge's race really affect turnout fo the statewide races?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1677108722778516534.post-85171033888611421242010-08-31T02:13:45.175-06:002010-08-31T02:13:45.175-06:00I don't think it was about race--it was about ...I don't think it was about race--it was about power, but I fear that it also is a short-term gain, one aging patriarch's tight hold on power. <br />I vote for Democrats--mostly; however have been disappointed in the Party organization--it seems totally bent on self-perpetuation through Tammany-style politics rather than about principles of good government.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13149804531185967727noreply@blogger.com
