Primary time
The primary election is just days away.
As someone who almost always votes in both the primary and general election, I have a difficult choices ahead of me trying to figure out who to vote for in this very important election.

Republicans in the 1st Senate District have the privilege of choosing our candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, U.S. Senate, Congress, State Senate and State Assembly.

What are the most important qualities I look for in a candidate? First of all, someone who is a true conservative. Then someone who is pro-life, works hard, is dependable, trustworthy and most of all, someone with integrity.
The last one—integrity—isn't generally mentioned on a candidate's lit piece, but I think it may be the most important quality we should look for in a person. In politics, your word and your good name are your only "stock in trade."

If I had to do a political brochure and only had one word to choose, it would be "integrity." As a candidate, that is the most important thing I have to offer you. As an informed voter, you really do have the obligation to know who you are voting for. When you meet a candidate at an event such as a church picnic, parade, etc. you most likely will only be talking to him or her for a matter of minutes.

The candidate may be impressive looking, articulate and friendly. You might really like what you see.

But the question is: do you known what that person stands for? What is his or her track record with their career, public service, private sector experience and family history?

These days there are plenty of ways to research candidates. The typical news media (newspaper, TV, radio) is one good way. Talk to friends, relatives and other informed citizens. Of course the Internet is another valuable tool, including Google. Don't take my word for it, check me and my opponents out.
