The latest count on the race to replace Sue Jeskewitz is now standing at five. Randy Melchert (R) and Jason LaSage (R) have been involved in our Assembly "Debate" series as you know.
The additional filed candidates are:
Ms. Charlene Brady (D), a Germantown resident who is currently serving on the Washington County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Torrey Lauer (D), a Germantown resident
Mr. Dan Knodl (R), Germantown resident who is currently serving on the Washington County Board of Supervisors
We hope to obtain the agreement of the three additional candidates to participate in the Assembly "Debate" Blog series that has begun. If one or more decide to do so, we'll ask them the same questions already published and print a 'catch-up' Blog to get all five on the same topics from that point forward.
There is still time for another candidate or two if I remember correctly. I believe that July 8th is the final date for the Declaration of Candidacy filing.
We should have a spirited discussion as we move toward the primary election in early-September.
