Why is it the only candidates we ever hear about have an 'R' next to their name? This state is gerrymandered to the point of inoperability because only the supermajority's policies get considered. We need new faces, but they don't all have to be Rs. We do need a state tax and the permanent fund to be restructured. You can't fix this mess with cuts only. Chris did some very sketchy things while on the Assembly so he's not the answer either. I would like a legislator who isn't beholden to special interest groups, the Koch Brothers, or religious entities, is a champion for people, not corporations & is willing to incorporate anyone's ideas into policy that will bring this state forward out of the quagmire created by the Republicans - a person who does what's right for the good of the state rather than for job security or majority interests. 'New energy' necessitates dismantling the supermajority; not electing more of the same like-minded R's and expecting a different outcome.
