[Lekooks] CANDIDATE INFO for APRIL 6 ELECTION

[Kerry Duma]

Thank you Ginger for this very important information.  I know many people
don't take the time to do the research on these local races, which are so
very important.  I appreciate all the factual information you have shared -
now I have something to share with others wondering about these candidates
and their positions.

Kerry
