Not sure how that will translate to District Court Clerk, but he may have a leg up on you. Ba-da-bum!
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I googled it so I could read about it, but the newest newspaper article I could find is dated Jan. 14. Just drown them with your experience.

Re: So I have a last-minute new opponent
Yeah, we are a county race, so pretty far down the ticket in a presidential election year, unfortunately. As we are all running as (R), this will be decided in the primary, so things will heat up a little bit as we get closer to June 7. I suspect there will be some activity in the local Gazette in the coming weeks. My main opponent is the incumbent; I don't imagine Mr. Nixon will be much of a factor. The incumbent has virtually no support among the county bar and the 6 district court judges, but getting the word out to people who don't routinely need to use the clerk's office will be key.SportsFan68 wrote:I googled it so I could read about it, but the newest newspaper article I could find is dated Jan. 14.

Yeah, I know its actually Yellowstone County, but that might confuse on a national level and you don't want any of those Sanders idiots crashing your rallies.

A bit of activity of late. I really need to send my opponent a "thank you" fruit basket. Every time she opens her mouth or her laptop, I get another stack of donation envelopes in my PO box.
