La Paz County Candidates, Part 1

Ugh, where to begin with this group of miscreants, nut jobs, slobs, and fakers? We thought Qsite was messed up? The county is much worse.

Sheriff's race- ugh, this is about the worst group. First, John Drum. The drums he's using to promote himself are as empty as the promises he's making to fix the SO. He was a bad magistrate judge and a bad supervisor. Elect him and he will continue this tradition. He'll use his power at the SO to look the other way on his fellow bar flies intoxicated driving habits. Drum isn't anything new, he's more of the same good old boys network that has kept La Paz County from growing and thriving so that he and his friends can prosper, while making sure that others don't. Then we have Candy Escorza. She's had her AZ POST cert pulled for life. That's a pretty big deal. After all, look at all the misconduct Chief Dilbert has gotten away with while POST looks the other way. I wonder if her ex Joe will be helping her out if she manages to get elected. These two are a bad combo for La Paz County. Last, Jose Moreno. He's the one I know practically nothing about. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe as an outsider from the same old same old, he has a chance to make some improvements (much much needed improvements) at the SO. I saw the video of the meet the candidates out in Salome that was held this summer and he came across as a blundering fool. Plus he's from CRIT, and that place is more fucked up than Qsite and the County combined.

District 1 Supervisor- this is a scary one too. First, DL Wilson. He's been in town politics for years, and is deeply entrenched in the good old boys network with Drum. I doubt he will make a good supervisor, but if you want the county to maintain the backwards, same as its always been, then vote for DL. Missy Gilbert. Where to start with this chick? First, if she's a democrat then I'm the Easter Bunny. She only chose to be a democrats so she can win the reservation. Given her tea party, right wing views, anyone with half a brain can see she's a faux democrat. Speaking of faux, obviously size matters to Missy, because her signs are a giant as her fake boobs. Wonder if size mattered to all the girls her hubby was hooking up with before he was run out of the SO? Maybe, because I can't see where they would be attracted to his looks so size must be a factor. On a positive note, she could do your nails during BOS meetings. She can multitask, I hear.

District 2- let's see, Clapperton or who? Who is running against him? I don't know anything about the other candidate, but King is a bit of a whacko, I think. I remember reading his comments on the Pioneer in years past (ALL CAPS!) and he's out there. So he'll fit right in with county government.

District 3- Holly Irwin or Paul Hale. Well lets see, what did Holly promise us last time she ran? Oh that's right, to settle the Yakima suit ASAP. How long into her term did she forget all about that promise? Probably on day one when John Drum took her under his wing. She's done nothing for anyone except improve her own quality of life (and that of her bloated park ranger husband). Same shit, different day with her. Paul Hale? Don't know much about him, except that he doesn't seem to be a part of the good old boys network, which is why he will lose.

County Assessor- Well the choices in this race is lose lose for LPC. Sharon Schuler is George's protege, which is why he retired so she could run as an incumbent. She's no different than Nault, so if you liked him, vote for her. Squeak Kossar. Ugh, this guy. He reminds me of a beached whale. I can't see what he will bring to the assessors office, other than a giant supply of Baby Ruth's and sweat. No doubt the first thing he will need is a larger chair. I don't know if he can deliver on all those promises he's made.

County Attorney- I'll have to write this later. My tummy can't handle this much grossness at one time. I admit, I'm weak.
