Senator Jim Stalzer has his petitions in today, and we have a few surprises.
Joel Koskan is going to make another run at Senator Troy Heinert in D26, and expect him to give the Senator a go.
New House Candidate Richard Vasgaard is the first one in District 17 – watch for a primary, as I know of two others in that contest.
And the biggest surprise of the day is former Representative Mike Derby (1997-2002) jumping back into things in D34. Rep. Jess Olson has already announced, but I don’t know if we have word from Rep. Mike Diedrich yet – so we’ll continue to watch for a possible primary.
Keep your eyes peeled, as I don’t see where any Democrats have filed yet.
Vote double d. Derby and Diedrich.
Derby and Diedrich would be great for that district. Good news!
Our district is packed with sensible young families and we will be voting for someone who gets our issues with raising families. Sorry – I’m sure Derby is a nice guy, but I want someone who will represent me. I’ll be voting Jess Olson.
Agreed. We have appreciated Jess Olson’s service in the legislature. We are very thankful that she is choosing to run for a second term.
Jess is by far the best person for District 34. We need people looking to the future
