I almost worked for Michael Carter’s campaign. I met him on July 3, and we agreed that I’d recruit volunteers and arrange interviews. Later, that day, I emailed him and suggested a salary. He said that he couldn’t afford to pay me. He asked me to do a lot of campaign work, and he said that he’d pay me, if and when he can afford to do so. I said that I won’t do that. I asked him to contact me, when he can promise a salary. After that, I didn’t hear from him.
Armen Alvarez is pro-tax cuts, pro-spending cuts, pro-life, pro-gun, and anti-gay marriage. In the U.S. Senate primary, I’ll vote for Sen. Oberweis. I know that he has many conservative views, since I’ve known him for almost 12 years. He’s the only Republican, in that race, who has held an elected office.
Unless I see POR (proof of RINO) on Truax I lean heavily toward him over Oberloser.

Libertarian Julie Fox apparently didn’t make it for Comptroller, she’s not listed. Leaving Judy and Sheila.
Fox’s, Carter’s, Will Lindsay’s and Koppie’s websites are all still active.
We have a 5th candidate for Governor. Non-entity Peter Edward Jones, who does not have an LT running mate.
I agree with the posters there that he probably will be thrown off the ballot.
GOP Congressional filings, all per the state election website. Campaign sites listed if I can find them.
