So, I wrote the column for the Seven Days print edition and voted. Ward 5 in Burlington. Lot’s of sunshine and a healthy turnout at 4 PM on bustling Pine Street.
That’s Democratic State Rep. Bill Keogh on the right. He’s in a three-way for the two seats available. Incumbent Democrat Joey Leddy Donovan (not pictured) holds the other seat . (Her son T.J.’s running for State’s Attorney.) Also running, just to make it interesting, is Elisa Nelson (not pictured). One guy v. two gals. Interesting. It is the district of former Governors Madeleine Kunin and Howard Dean. Keogh, by the way, says people think he’s me when he’s riding his bike. What, they scream and throw things?
Tonight our duty is to get the city hall numbers for the Associated Press. The last few times the system’s worked quite smoothly. Fingers crossed.
The big one’s are Tracy v. Dunne in the Lite-Gov contest and the three-way State’s Attorney shootout: T.J. Donovan v. Ted Kenney v. Rob Backus. Young T.J. seems like the only one with higher office in mind.
Let’s see, when the last time a Chittenden County State’s Attorney went anywhere?
Later, gang.
