Fear not, there are some strong candidates preparing to announce their candidacy. I have been told that there are candidates with strong opinions, strong stands and willing to address issues, so long ignored.
Sources tell me that there will be candidates with a robust agenda. Candidates who are not satisfied with the status quo, willing to challenge and perhaps offer some new options.
I can hardly wait to see these platforms. A choice would be very much appreciated by this writer and I assume the electorate. I hope they will post them on this site, for everyone to read. Let’s hope.
