Congratulations State Representative David Bentz!
This Special Election was the R’s only chance to win this seat. During a general election, the sheer D registration advantage renders it non-competitive.
While the R candidate outperformed the registration, it doesn’t really offer hope for the R’s going forward in this district.
Dave will be a good Representative.
Another career politician, be ready for higher taxes.
Yes anon, because the “cut everything” crowd have been producing such wonderful results.
