Some more primary endorsements

I still haven't sorted out all the names on my primary election ballot for 9/5, but can now call the following races:

9th Judicial Circuit, Group 5: Mary Ann Etzler
She has 10 and 13 years of added maturity over her respective opponents, an attractive quality in a judge. She is also a former law enforcement officer, whereas Jenifer Davis is a public defender and John Gray is a trial lawyer. Yuk, huh?!

9th Judicial Circuit, Group 42: John Pare
No-brainer. His opponent is Tim Shea, former head of the local Democratic Party. Double Yuk!

Orange County Mayor: Richard Crotty
He has the experience and the connections to get things done for the community, despite the local newspaper's best efforts to smear him for questionable (?!) real estate speculation. Sally Baptiste just does not have the gravitas to lead the community.

Orange County Commission, District 2: Fred Brummer
He is currently my state representative, and I think he's done more than a decent job for us up in Tallahassee. Two of his three opponents are from New York City, a definite strike against each of them. The third guy, Gary Metzger, did not respond to the local paper's request for info. So, I don't know anything about him.

Still trying to figure out Group 43 on the 9th Judicial Circuit, and county judge groups 17 & 18.

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel now! Hopefully, I'll get it all sorted out by 9/5!
