One week from today is Election Day. For those of you who are still deciding, I wanted to remind you of the resources available from the Chamber. Go here for information about our positions and a Summary of the Chamber’s Positions is at the bottom of this post. Also, Ballotpedia has good background information (when you can get on their site). There’s even information about the judges there.
And let me leave you with a little political humor to brighten an otherwise dark and angry political landscape. There’s a commercial circulating for a Texas county commission candidate that may be the political commercial of the year. I don’t know this guy’s politics and don’t care; it’s not the point of me sharing it with you. And, it may be preceded by a random political ad that is also not the point so you can skip it to get to the video. Enjoy “Please Re-elect Gerald Daugherty…Please.”
