Ballot Page Two (Part 2)

Continuing Page 2…

Commissioner of Public Lands: My primary choice was once again me, and once again just a protest because there were only two candidates. So I need to look at the candidates. Once again, with brief looks at their statements and their websites, I find nothing particular that would make me lean one way or another. This really should be an appointed position. In any case, as the tie break, I will go with the challenger. My vote goes to Peter Goldmark.

Superintendent of Public Instruction: My primary choice was Randy Dorn. I vote for him again.

Insurance Commissioner: My primary choice was me. Because I didn’t like any of the candidates. OK, I will vote for me again.

State Senator District 41: My primary choice was me, but only because there were only two candidates. So once again I should look at the candidates. If Fred Jarrett had an issues section on his site, I could not find it. Meanwhile, I could easily find Bob Baker’s issues page without trying. And I like a lot of what I read. Plus… I’ve seen his yard sign. It has very few words on it other than his name. It says “No Tolls on I-90 Bridge”. I go across that bridge a couple times a day, and I agree completely. And from his website it seems he is also generally of the same pro-car orientation as I am. So my vote goes for Bob Baker.

State Representative Position 1 District 41: My primary choice was me. Once again a protest of only having two choices. So once again, I need to look at the candidates. Once again I think transportation is the deciding issue for me. Litzow is against tolling on I-90 and seems more car friendly. My vote goes to Steve Litzow.
