State Rep. Mike Coffey

Election day two weeks from today.

You are on the ballot.

I'm on the ballot.

Because you're always every two years as a state representative.

That's automatic.

What are you hearing? Turnout? What do you think? Is the electorate going to be energized? Going to be the biggest turnout ever for an off year? I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't think so.

I don't believe the electric is energized and we really need to get them out because I think, you know, so many people focus on national politics and, you know, they're hurting, you know, and the messages, you know, gas prices are higher, grocery prices are higher, energy prices are higher.

And they're mad and they're angry.

And, you know, primarily at the president, the United States.

And we've got to make sure that that doesn't go down ticket all the way across.

Good point.

If you're the Republican Party and you get we've got to remind people that, you know, the most important elections to people are really the local election.

Who are your aldermen? Who's your mayor? You know, who's your state rep? Who who's going to be your next sheriff? You know.

And it's very, very important that we get our base out to vote because just because national politics are not going the way you want, you can't take that and push it all the way down the ballot.

And that's what we're worried about.

We've got to make sure that our base gets out.

And quite honestly, you don't hold somebody else's actions, other people that don't have any responsibility for what those people have done and stick to the office.

So we've got to get the vote out.

Republicans, some are very, very vocal about the top of the ticket.

They're not pleased.

Second cycle, same person running for governor.

Many people, tough to get excited and motivated and so on and so forth.

I think Don Tracy, local guy, doing his best.
