over 105,000 registered voters in district 32 ?
I see ?NeoCon? Mark Green voted Yes “”The President shall not withdraw support from NATO.”” Seems he likes the UN and NATO more than our nation’s right to decide war.
H.R. 676: NATO Support Act
In something of an irony, or at the very least an interesting coincidence, one of Shafer’s rivals for the District 32 seat is the aforementioned McManus, who forwent the option of trying to regain his House seat from Thompson (who won again over the GOP’s Scott McCormick ) and was himself attracted by the prospect of the Norris vacancy.
