Are there no Democratic incumbents who are facing a recall election? I would think that the Dems would be the ones being recalled after they decided to leave town and not do their jobs.

There are two scheduled for next Tuesday. There was a third last month, but the Dem easily won that one because the lead challenger’s campaign messed up on signatures and the partisan Govt. Accountability Board dismissed just enough to get him off the ballot.

Simac has a chance. Odds are that Wirch won't be defeated.
