that it makes recruiting new candidates tough. Who wants to spend six months running that gauntlet to get 30% of the vote?

I live in one of those districts. This year, a brave soul stepped up, but we haven't had a Dem on the ballot for 2 elections because it's so extremely Trump country.

Of course, this was before the J6 hearings and RvW and everything else that happened in June, which seem to be turning sentiment against the GOP.

Really dislike Vos. No one running against Mike Gallagher either. He tows the Republican line. BoomaofBandM Jul 2022 #6

Contact your county clerk to see if there is a registered write-in for the Dems. sybylla Jul 2022 #9
