6. Local paper had a story about HD10 today

It went into a little depth about each candidate - all of whom are in their mid-30s.

Aaron Bernstine, the R incumbent, is on thin ice after both parties called for his resignation and the local GOP withdrew its endorsement.

Johnathon Peffer, the 3rd party candidate, has a platform that will appeal to plenty of voters who want effecient and effective government. He wants to "close loopholes" and have transparency of how taxdollars are spent by recipients.

Kolby Cole, the Dem candidate, is focused on education. As a AfAm woman, member of the local Community Developmet Corp, and work with a local youth ministry, she's positioned to turn out more AfAm voters than normal. She also has the endorsements of Malcolm Kenyetta and Brian Sims, both current state house reps.

I'm hoping Cole can win with a plurality if Bernstine and Peffer split the center right/rw vote, but based on Peffer's platform, I wouldn't be surprised if he wins.
