Election 2014 Part 3

Well summing up the races let's look at the two final Clark Co. Council races then the BatBlog will give their endorsements.

Clark Co. Council District 3- Danny Yost Incumbent Rep. tries to hold his seat against Joe Hubbard the Dem., Yost and the other new Rep.s on the council have done a good job with the mess they were handed. Yost had some personal problems that might hurt his campaign...Hubbard could capitalize and win the seat..

Clark Co. Council Dist, 4 - Rep. incumbent Steve Doherty faces off against former councilman Perry Smith. Smith never met a tax he didn't like, give Doherty the edge as the GOP tries to hang on to the progress they've made here recently...

There are some other races that we will discuss later as both parties can fill slots on races that are uncontested and independents can still get on the ballot for the general election ..Stay tuned

U.S Rep. of Congress 9th Dist. - whichever Dem. wins the primary... Todd Young needs to go he's boring , bland and part of the GOP element that does nothing but create gridlock in Washington. He'll be hard to beat though, but lets hope him and Mitch McConnell meet in the unemployment line...

One last word , I was a little disappointed as I scanned the list of precinct committeemen I noticed a lot of the same old names . I was hoping some new fresh, young people would get more involved in this ground level entry, most precincts have only one candidate. Unfortunately that's just the way it is but be sure to vote.....
