A friend of mine, Rich Sokol, is running for the South Metro Denver Fire Board.  He’s a good man, a solid conservative, and deserves election in this non-partisan race.  Rich is an LPR grad, and came in to lecture our class about the inverse relationship between government spending and economic growth.  For most of the folks sitting there, it was an easy sell, but he presented the material so well that I think even skeptics would have given him a fair hearing.  Rich later repeated the performance for the Republican Small Business Association.

Turnout in these races is generally very low, meaning that a few hundred votes one way or the other can make the difference.  So if you happen to live in the district, you’d be doing a service to help Rich get elected.
