I have the utmost respect for Jerry, I’ve known him for quite some time, and, in the interest of full disclosure, I support him and will be donating to the campaign.
Having said that, too bad for the rest of us that we don’t have the choices available to the D’s in the 23rd District. I envy them and, yes, I’m more than a little jealous.
