i hope i am wrong: local races are important and if there are no races in some districts, then it will hurt voter turnout for the very important supreme court justice race. we in racine need to vote for this race or else "urban" voices won't be heard. imho, butler has to be retained.
so, i encourage some people to get motivated and create some more contested local races.
I hear our local gun dealer (shaker upper) is thinking of running against Weidner
