I have a lot of hope that the GOP might be able to take District 1. My father, Jerry Williford, is running against Greg Dority. Dority had a pretty good showing in 2002 - with minimal effort and little money.
Unlike many of the District 1 Republicans, who have made Democrats the sworn enemy - Jerry is appealing to everyone's sense of fairness, capability, and common sense. He is isolating no one. Last week, Jerry had a Democrat County Chairman, in barber shop, shake his hand and wish him good luck.
I also wish your father well. Clearly, election night in November will be interesting and eventful.
Locally it doen't matter which party you sign up with, it's truly about the man.
