I'm voting Democratic!

...for state representative, that is!

Yes, I know, I know: I'm a Green, as I've said before. But there's no Green candidate, so you know how that goes. And I don't like making full-on endorsements anymore, because I've gotten burned on those too many times.

Anyway, it appears as if I'm in Democrat Dennis Keene's district, which covers the more Democratic portion of Campbell County. I'm not 100% sure, because Kentucky state legislative district boundaries change every time some Republican throws a fit and sues over them, but articles seem to indicate that I'm in that district.

Keene at least got rid of Campbell County's outdated tax that applied only in the more urban northern half of the county. (And the exurbs think the cities are getting special rights?)

The incumbent Democrat's only opponent in this election is independent Pat Lucas, an ultraconservative who grumbles about "socialism", wants to eliminate funding for public schools, and backs a confiscatory 10% sales tax.

Well, I think it's pretty obvious I ain't voting for Pat Lucas, isn't it?

And don't groan about how Dennis Keene is running unopposed just because his only opponent is an independent. That B.S. won't fly.
