Mariannette Miller-Meeks

I was wrong, I thought that the 2nd CD race would go to convention. But Mariannette Miller-Meeks pulled of a convincing win with over 50% of the vote. This was a tough race for me for two reasons. First, I know all of the candidates and second, I promised not to make a public endorsement.

I would like to congratulate Mariannette on a great victory and offer her my support in the campaign to come. I would also like to thank Christopher, Steve and Rob for participating in the race.

After M-cubed won people have been asking for my opinion on the race. I think that Jan Mickelson of WHO Radio summed it up best this morning when he said:

She is really good on free market and medical funding issues ... She takes a free market approach ... She is a limited government specialist ... She advocates budget cuts ... She was against TARP and all the associated nonsense in the last few months ... She has taken a strong stand on illegal immigration control ... She is pro-family and can define family the way you are supposed to be able to ... She is pretty decent on the life issue ...

So, on the issues I'd consider that a strong win — and beside that, I like her!

I agree with Jan 100%.
