May 2023

The Democratic candidate I voted for in the primary lost - he was an attorney who was a lifelong resident and only lives a little way up north. His Democratic opponent was new to the district, but he won, anyway. As for the general, you already know the answer, it was Stefanik again. And I found out from the husband of my friend who ran for State Senate, that Stefanik and the incumbent Republican who defeated my friend held a Republican meetup locally early on election night where they not only claimed victory - but she endorsed TFG for 2024.
