Although I have my concerns with Squadron, it is time to throw out pols who aren't putting up a real fight against traffic. Enough. Goodbye Connor. Turnout is extraordinary light.

Turnouts are light - your vote really counts.

You get more credibility because they know you're the kind of person who votes every single time and with challengers like Paul Newell shaking things up it lets these incumbents know that they could be next. Accountability-- we need more of it.
