Opinion

State Senator Colgan’s record of selfless leadership on behalf of the people of our district is impressive and should be considered a great display of public service. Now, for the first time in over 30 years, we have a decision to make: who will the Democrats nominate to attempt to fill the impressive shoes of Chuck Colgan in our district?

I’ve heard all the arguments such as: “We need someone to take on a deep pocketed Republican in the fall,” and “we need someone who is the ‘most electable,’” and, “We need someone to win this seat so we have a Democratic majority in the Senate.”
