Mailbag: What About Commissioner Currie

Hypothetical Q: If Rick Currey was on the ballot tomorrow do you think he’d be re-elected?

DFO: Hmm. Currie defeated The Ronfather in the general election two years ago and then Independent Chris Copstead in the general. Two worthy foes. So, he won’t be easy to take out. He’s also known for attending a wide range of events in his off hours, which counts with voters. However, he struggles with public speaking and hasn’t particularly distinguished himself in office yet. It depends on the opposition — and whom he ticks off between now and spring 2008.
