My latest for Examiner.com deals with the idea of non career politicians running for office this year, a snippet:
He (Keith Lepor) mentioned how one of the hosts at WTKK 96.9 Michelle McPhee scolded him saying that he had not “done his time” in the legislature or the school committee or local politics, he didn’t climb the ladder that takes you to the halls of congress.
It looks like Michelle is going to be very disappointed this year. Over and over I have met people whose background has nothing to do with politics.
Expect to see more of this beyond ma-9 and Nc-2 as the professional political class gets challenged.
You can find out more about Keith Lepor and Renee Ellmers at their respective sites. Both are very worthy of your support.
Update: Much to my surprise Keith lost his primary oh well.
