Throwing My Hat in the Ring Again

In 2002, I ran as a Republican candidate for Justice of the Peace in a very heavily Democratic district. To my surprise I obtained 31 % of the vote. I was happy that the race was over, and decided never to run for anything else again. Now things have changed.

Two weeks ago, some co-workers approached me about running for Union Vice-President . The present office holder resigned, due to getting on disability. Now a special election is being for someone to fill out the rest of his term. Last night I was nominated, and will be in a three-way race.

This special election will be held on June 11th. Just like in 2002, I will be glad when it is over.

Farewell to Jack Kemp

I just found out that Jack Kemp passed away this past weekend. He was a man who was successful as an athlete and a statesman. Mr. Kemp was a great conservative, and a champion of capitalism. We need more men like him on Capital Hill today.

Jack Kemp served in Congress from 1971 to 1989, followed by four years as HUD Secretary under the elder Bush. Before politics, he played professional football for the Pittsburg Steelers, Calgary Stampeders, San Diego Chargers and the Buffalo Bills.

In 1988, Kemp had an unsuccessful bid for the White House, and was Bob Dole’s running mate in 1996. Let us also remember that he served our country from 1958 to 1962 as a Private in the Army Reserves. A true partiot has left us.I will never forget him.

Jack Kemp
Rest in Peace
