Every Vote Matters in Placer County

How many Republicans officeholders in heavily red Placer County are Republicans because they believe in Republican principles or because they simply wanted to get elected? Everyone wants collaborative government.



Imagine what happens if Democrat Charlie Brown replaces Congressman Doolittle and Democrat Jennifer Montgomery replaces Supervisor Bruce Kranz. The Far Right stranglehold on local politics is immediately broken, which will benefit traditional Republicans and Democrats alike by giving us lower-decibel, collaborative government that serves the many not the few.



Democrat Charlie Brown would immediately gain clout for us in the new Democratic administration in Washington, D.C., benefiting us all. He would mature with the new administration and provide us years of honest representation.



If Democrat Jennifer Montgomery replaces Bruce Kranz on the Board of Supervisors, then the usual 5-0 Far Right votes immediately become 3-2 for traditional, and hopefully enlightened, politics. The two already elected traditional board members would not need to throw away their votes; the entire politics of the board would change.



Voters should wager a possibility of enlightened government against a self-serving certainty and vote for Democrats Charlie Brown and Jennifer Montgomery so the national purge reclaiming government for the people will be mirrored here at home.
