  1. An interesting race! on June 4th, 2024 5:34 pm

    With a field of three Republicans and two NPA’s to draw voters out to the primary in August, this race becomes quite interesting.

    What gets more interesting is the potential for a two way race in the general election in November. If the Republican who wins the primary doesn’t get a majority, NPA’s, Democrats dissatisfied with a weak Republican candidate, along with many Republicans.

    Could District 5 get an NPA commissioner elected by a majority of very dissatisfied voters?
