One of the top stories being pushed by Republican News Media (like Fox) has been that Democrats won’t know what to do now that we’re running the show. As one prominent GOP pundit said last Sunday, “Democrats don’t have any ideas.”
Well I wanted to make sure everyone here knows why I cared so much this year and spent so much time fighting for a Democratic House and a Democratic Senate (and here’s a hint… it’s not because I thought Democrats would do nothing while in control).
Election Day is (almost) here. Before you head to the polls, it’s important to know who you’re voting for. So we’ve compiled a list. The hard work is done for you. Now all you have to do is print/copy/memorize this list, go to the polls, and vote!
Congress
1St District: Maxine Moul
2nd District: Jim Esch
3rd District: Scott Kleeb
Governor:
David Hahn
Senate:

The races listed above are easy. The ballots will tell you who the Democrat is (by the ‘D’ next to their name). The lower ticket races are a bit tougher. This following is a list of those candidates that will not be identified by their party. Take this list with you into the voting booth and support some great Democrats on the local level!
