Reading the seething between the lines of his Facebook post, it is clear that Dave Burris is pretty pissed off at David Wilson. I’m not sure what effect that anger adds up to in the race to replace Simpson in the State Senate. Maybe it amounts to nothing, but Milford’s well-liked Mayor, Bryan Shupe, seems more like a candidate more in the Burris mold. Who knows…Maybe Wilson saw the writing on the wall, and decided to the early announcement was worth the risk?
Word of his impending retirement quickly spread through political circles on Friday after state Rep. David Wilson, R-Bridgeville, filed his candidacy for the seat.
Simpson, 70, said he had planned to announce his decision after the General Assembly reconvenes in March, something he told Wilson and only a few others.
