I somehow doubt I would get a response, any more than I did from my letter to him regarding his opinion piece https://www.facebook.com/ned.hickson/posts/10154697836768348 

I've had to be very careful about leaving politics out of my election run in order to remain neutral as an editor. No rallies, yard signs, editorials, etc. But in the event I'm not elected, trust me that your reccomendation is on my to-do list.

Many thanks for the comment and suggestion.
