so,who won.
Elected offices are primarily about leadership, decision making and management of resources. Leadership and management skills are learned and development from training and life experiences. There is no platform for elected officials to have experience for the offices they seek. Alan Baker was a school teacher before he was elected to the State House, and to do his job he draws from prior unrelated life and work experience and has proved to do a quite a good job. Marc Keahey, was an attorney before becoming a state Senator; he didn’t have experience in being a senator. A business owner or a former Marine is just as important as being a teacher or an attorney. These offices function best when we elect people who have no special interest and can understand and serve for the good of all the people.
unfortunately, the world we live in does not require our politicians to have experience for the offices they seek. look at the president? why should local offices be any different. it comes down to who has the most money for a campaign to get their name known. we really need qualified people in office, if not it will cost the citizens more than money!
Can’t disagree more. Albritton and Peacock have 0 experience in the races they have chosen to run in. The other Republican candidates will be the better representatives. Please everyone do your research and learn about these candidates. A tour 20+ years ago in the Marine Corps and running a print shop does not qualify you to hold these positions!
Albritton has some time about 9 years or so in the Marine Corps and we all know they, the Marines get the job done, also he’s old enough to know the answer is not to just come out pounding on the citizenry. The important thing is he is a Republican and the whole shebang needs to be thrown out from the top to the bottom.
GO PEACOCK FOR SENATE
