I was invited to a meet and greet for Russ Huxtable.
I had never heard of him.
This is what I learned:
• Russ wants to halt the rampant deforestation that is happening here. He has the experience and the contacts to stop it, and even reverse it
• Russ wants to bring a safe, environmentally sound and effective infrastructure to us
• Russ is not pro-abortion. Nobody is. But Russ is determined to protect pro-choice, which, as we all know, affects not only girls and women, but their families and the men they love
• He wants to bring affordable housing to this area. Doctors and affluent retirees can afford houses in our community, but the people who hold this beautiful place together are shut out of the market. Every hospital, school, store and restaurant depends on the people who work there. Without those folks, everything falls apart. Why should the worker bees have to face a lack of housing?
Like me, you may not have heard much about Russ. Why? Maybe it’s because instead of wasting his time pushing himself forward on social media and in the press and generally indulging in the usual political showboating, he is busy working. For us.
That is why I am going to vote for him.
That is why I hope you will take a minute and look him up and see what he has done and what he has to offer.
Prepare to be happily surprised!
This guy is the real deal.
