The Democrats had two entries. One was for the candidate for County Controller; the other for the two candidates for County Commissioner and for County Coroner.
The Republicans had five entries. First in line was one for all of their candidates including the unqualified state judicial candidates and state Rep. Doyle Heffley, who isn’t even running this year. A candidate for Congress had his own float. I shook his hand and asked him what he thought about the contest for Speaker. That was fun. A third entry was for the Republican candidates for County Commissioner. Then there was an entry for their candidate for Coroner, a guy with no qualifications except that he got enough signatures on the nominating petition. Finally there was an entry for a District Judge, an office usually considered to be non-political, but I guess she thought since the Republicans are in the majority in her district she should emphasize her party affiliation.
Did any candidates win any votes at the parade? That’s always the question. We did give away a large pile of candy. Unfortunately, most of that went to kids who can’t vote.
