Commission race: ‘It is what it is’

How historic that 50 percent of all registered Repub­lican voters of District 2 took time to vote Aug. 2. How tragic 60 percent of that vote was not for incumbent Dan Holub, yet because of how the system is set up, he was the successful candidate last Tuesday.

With that said, hail to the unpopular victor.

A Dan Holub quote before the election: “I will not change.” A Dan Holub quote after the election: “I may have to change.”

I wonder which Dan Holub I will be facing in November during my write-in campaign.
