Sep 2013

one was dissed by the Republicans when after 20 years on the job they tossed him for someone else this year. He's essentially apolitical and very good at his job, to say nothing of being very popular, so we were glad to have him run with us. Ecstatic, actually.

The other one joined us a couple of years ago with pretty much the same attitude-- when she started to get active in town stuff, particularly environmental stuff, the Republicans pissed her off to no end so she came to us when she heard we were looking for candidates.

Now that you bring it up, I'll ask if they ever heard of DU.
