today<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nMarisa Simonetti<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nShe’s an unknown conservative who ran in the runoff three weeks ago, spent about $700, and got 33% of the vote with no name recognition, running against Mary Moriarty’s spouse and at least one candidate who spent $70K to try to build name recognition, in a runoff<\/em>. That took her to the final round, today:<\/p>\n\n\n\nHer opponent is Heather Edelson – a sitting Legislator whose sole <\/em>“accomplishment” was writing a bill that would have banned gas powered lawn mowers in the state. “Lawncare Barbie” has name recognition – and literally nothing else. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSimonetti’s a dark horse – but given the tiny turnout in these special elections for county races, anything is possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nIf you live in the area in the map above – basically all of Henco south of 394 and west of 169 – get to the polls. Bring your family. Extort your kids. Whatever it takes. <\/li>\n\n\n\n If you don’t <\/em>live in this district, make sure any family you do <\/em>have in the area turn out and vote for Simonetti. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThis would really shock the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
