9. I was not pleased at all that he has that seat, but I expected him to win it.

He is an arch conservrative, and has been as long as I have known anything about him. I was in his State House District, until the maps were redrawn in 2021. He was on the redistricting committee, and he cut 5 consistently Democratic precincts out of his district (HD 97). We are all stacked up on the map in sort of a vertical row. I heard that he wanted us out of 97 because he "didn't want all those Democrats in his district". Well we are actually better off for it because we are now in HD 90 which is solid blue - so blue that our State Rep has run unopposed the last 2 elections.

I do not expect anything good from him. I don't think he is as looney tunes as Sporkfoot, or Gym Jordan or Gomer Comer but it would really surprise me if he broke ranks

Well, I do have to admit that going to such a facility does help some, to the point that they can somewhat function SWBTATTReg Dec 22 #2
