Primary Buzz | (Almost) All You Need to Know About the Upcoming Governor’s Council and State Rep Primaries

Greetings! I didn’t have time to do this before I left, and I didn’t bring my computer with me, so I’m taking a moment to just send a quick note. I reserve the right to rerun this in a month.

Also, I busted my phone yesterday because that’s the kind of skill I have, and it’s not letting me go down below the last post to say my parting words - so I’ll just do it here instead:

I haven’t seen the debate yet, but definitely watch it, in addition to reading/listening to the below pieces! I can’t wait to see. I did send in questions, too, but I’m not sure which one(s) were used, so I’m eager to know the answers to those, too.

I’ll see y’all tomorrow, probably.
