Election 2014 is only a couple months away (Primary) let's take an early look and some possible results...U.S. Rep. in Congress 9th Dist. - Crowded field in the both primaries (4) Democrats and (3) Republicans challenging incumbent Todd Young in the primary. Young hasn't done much of anything, but being incumbent and Rep. should carry him to victory in both primary and the general election...
State Senator 46th Dist. - Rematch in the fall Ron Grooms Rep. Incumbent against Charles "Chuck" Freiberger Dem. Grooms beat him 4 years ago and will probably be reelected but I'm voting Freiberger. Grooms is a nice guy but too wishy washy, unless he's changed from his Jeff City Council days.
Circuit Court #1 Judge - In the Dem. primary, incumbent Dan Moore against Andrew "Drew" Adams. Moore should win, a generously nice guy and a good judge, no candidate as of yet for GOP but they could put one on the ballot in the fall. Moore will be tough to beat....
Circuit Court #2 Judge - Interesting race with all the drug court drama in place. Incumbent Jerry Jacobi faces political new comer Laura Harbison in the primary. It's hard to imagine any scenario where Jacobi can win but then again this is Clark Co. If Jacobi wins it shows just how little attention people pay to politics and the news. If by some miracle Jacobi wins you can be sure the GOP will trot out a candidate to face him in the fall...Harbison wins big...
Circuit Court #3 Judge - Currently Incumbent Joe Weber is unopposed, Weber is popular and well known he would be difficult to beat if GOP comes up with a candidate in the fall election...
Prosecuting Attorney - Another interesting and could be a close race this fall deputy prosecutor Jeremy Mull Rep. faces Clark Co. Dem party leader Robert Bottoroff II . This one could go either way Mull has the experience working as a prosecutor under retiring Steve Stewart, The Batblog likes Mull...
County Clerk - Interesting primary race between two solid Democratic candidates former Judge Steven Fleece and Susan Popp...this is another tough one to call, Fleece probably more qualified but Popp is younger it will be close, slight advantage to Fleece. Republican Kelly Harrod has no chance against either Dem. in the fall. Kind of wonder why the Dem.s would let 2 strong candidates run against one another...End Part I see more races tomorrow
Judge Weber needs to go!!
ReplyDeleteAmen brother, he, from what I hear is one of the biggest problems in the current system.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the deal with Judge Weber, I thought he was well respected ??
ReplyDeleteHe is well respected by all those he has done favors for like the people he should have put in jail, but instead granted double, triple or even quadruple probation. He oversees a home incarceration program that from what I read is more concerned with money than actually incarcerating.
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm aware of the home incarceration problem and I think that's where some of the problems rise between the judges not getting along, among other things...
