I’d be willing to wager and rarely do I wager that District 23 is probably one of THE most fiscally conservative districts in the state! Horse trading is a sport there! Show them cost and they will start at offer you 1/2! Most likely there are plenty of Mayonnaise Jars filled with coins buried in back yards up there. Yummy Kuchen and they have a Schmeckfest 🙂
Big thanks for the post PP; and the one above too. Game On!!!
Mr. Hoffman, you seem like a swell fellow and when you win you should run for being a speaker.
Hoffmann will be a great servant leader.
He will also be an improvement over Brown. Brown has thrown away much of his potential these past few years by being heavy handed with those who disagree with him. It is sad to see someone with so much potential change for the worst. Policy making should be about doing what’s right not vendetta based.
Cronin should be a great senator.
That district has sent some great people to Pierre. Charlie back in the legislature will be a breath of fresh air, and Brown is one of the best ever.
Good luck to both of them, and hopefully Sen. Cronin, as well.
