Lennie, what happen to the former NAACP President, Carolyn Vermont who was running for State Senator 23rd District?
Ron, she did not qualify for ballot. Her petition campaign came up short.
When will the ballots be ready Lennie? The AB operaion is the next step before primary day.
Absentee ballots ready three weeks prior to primary date.
I heard she couldn’t pass the CPAT. Candidate Petition Aptitude Test. Which one was it???
The old boy’s club is sort of calcified, you know? Time to get rid of the self interest.
I never have nor ever will vote for a professional politician. There entire goal in life is to obtain power. They are grown up versions of the safety patrol and hall monitors.
*** Much too soon, however with Trump in the W/H & the complete disregard of the republicans to stand strong & together against some of the blatant criminal type behavior & violation of peoples human & civil rights. Along with the constant child-like tweaks & lying in public and on the news. I certainly will not be voting for any republicans regardless on weather their the better opponent or not! ***
