You know I wasn’t happy with the election of Donald Trump and the fact that the Republicans now control the House, Senate, and White House. I didn’t vote for any of them and I know none of them will have my concerns in mind when they start their agenda. However I won’t be telling people Trump ‘is not my President’. I don’t think it’s helpful to copy the Tea Party playbook lock stock and barrel. We need a more rational way to resist Trump and fight hard for our progressive agenda in which a majority of people agree.
The fact is a majority of total voters voted for Clinton but Trump won the electoral college votes. Of course there is some debate how ethical that win really was, but barring some last minute super-duper legal maneuver or a ‘smoking gun’, Trump will be taking the oath of office on January 20th. I will still have fun telling my conservative friends that Hillary won the election by almost 3 million votes.
If I could vote, who would I vote for????
I don’t live in Hancock county. I was born and raised there so I am interested in the elections there. If I were to vote there here is who I recommend:
United States Senator Eric D. Fingerhut, US Representative To Congress 4Th District Ben Konop, House Of Representatives 76Th District Kenneth J. Ludwig
Commissioner 1/3/2005 Christopher Cox
The other local offices have no challengers and none of the incumbents are that bad but it is sad no one will challenge them.
Even if he had a challenger I would recommend for Coroner, Dr. LeRoy L. Schroeder. He was my Doctor in the later years I lived in Findlay and I was in the same Scout Troop as his son Kevin. He is a nice guy who supports his community and does a job that not many would do.
