Local election...party affiliation not mentioned on ballot, although I believe it is (R). Keep in mind that means something different here in soviet Red Hampshire...(R) = Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Jim Jeffords, and so forth.

Yes. It sure looks like it. I believe his father held the seat for many years until he died.

I agree. There is something obscene about someone whose only job experience is in elected office.
