Apr 2017

despite normal historical trends, my percentage was almost the same as the Dem. Candidate for Governor and other Dem's in the state which was historically low.

Keep in-mind JEBtm was running for re-election and taking NO chances.

I finished about 10pts. lower than I believed I should have as did everyone else.
