  1. Mingus says:

    If this was a Democratic seat and we had a Republican governor like Tim Michaels, this seat would be left vacant as long as possible which would bring the Assembly one seat closer to a super majority for the Republicans. Evers believes in democracy and giving voters in this district the right to choose their representative-a concept that the Republicans do not believe in.l
