I Hope He Keeps Blogging, Too
The "secret" is now out -- ascendant blogger and all-around likeable guy Bob Krumm is seriously considering a run for the State Senate in 2006.
It'd be a tough race, as there is a heavily entrenched conservative Democrat who would likely be his opponent. (It's worth noting, though, that there is a rumored primary challenger aiming for the Democratic nomination.)
Krumm is starting off on the right foot: he's soliciting input from his current "constituents" (i.e., his weblog readers) as to whether he should go ahead. On the other hand, he has demonstrated in just a few months of writing, that he will be the ultimate decision-maker. Bob makes sense pretty much all of the time. He's conservative with conviction, it appears, but very refreshingly lacking in partisanship. If there is any kind of conservative I would want representing me in government, it's this kind.
Drop by and let Bob know what you think. I, for one, am encouraging him to run. I have no real opposition to Doug Henry, but a couple of thoughts are a) Henry has represented the district for a VERY long time, and change is good; and 2) Henry has made some disappointingly naïve-sounding comments on the role that lobbyists currently play in state government.
If you still need just that one more reason to support a Krumm candidacy, check this out: he plants trees.
