I am recommending Christopher Kessler in the House District 32 Democratic primary. Kessler’s extensive first-hand experience with clean energy and efficient households will be invaluable for the future of our state, and his commitment to rank-choice voting has helped lead the way to government that serves the people rather than special interests. More importantly, Chris […]
