In the 2nd District race for Congress, Republicans must nominate an electable candidate.
That candidate is not Merrill Cook. By my count, he has lost six elections and at least four initiatives. In fact, even Cook's effort to enact term limits was defeated. (Term limits are routinely passed by large margins all over the country.)I commend Cook for getting involved in the political process, but he simply cannot win in November.
This is an important election for Republicans, and the choice is clear. I will be voting for Todd Neilson. Todd won the Republican convention, his first election, with 67% of the final vote.
Todd Neilson is the one Republican who can win in November.
