Who is Travis Nelson?
Go for it Travis!! It is nice that everyone running should have someone running against them, keeps them honest. But do not run on bashing the unions, lower taxes, new jobs etc. Run on providing basic services, snow removal, better roads, parks and expanding 27th street for the good of the whole City not just the Country Club. You just might have to run increasing taxes. True property taxes haven’t been raised in over 20 years, actually they have been lowered.
Who is Erin Loeffner?
This Travis Nelson is the latest poor sap that Mark Fahleson has recruited as a sacrificial lamb. If you remember 2007, Jonathan Cook faced a real opponent that had been endorsed by Bob Kerrey of all people, and Cook creamed him by 30 points. This should be a snoozer election.
