CANDIDATES (STILL) WANTED

Usually we expect a rush of hopefuls from both parties when it looks like offices are opening up in a coming election but that’s not the case yet this year when it comes to who may be looking at the two state House openings now that Representatives Donni Steele (R-54) and Natalie Price (D-6) have set their sites on openings in the state Senate. We are hearing that there could be a likely primary challenge for Steele as she seeks the 23rd district Senate seat. About all we could wrangle out of a GOP source was that a guy with substantial personal wealth, and not someone who likes Steele, may give her a run for the Senate. We will stay on this one.
