We will stay corrupt because no one steps up to the plate!!!! Really sad
We will stay corrupt. Amazing that no one with a real college degree is running against John Morrissey and his fake college degree.
Why don’t you step up?
Could someone still launch a write-in campaign?
Kerkman has got to gooooooo.
Sam is following the legacy of the many executives before her. Running virtually unopposed until she doesn’t want the job. Jim Kreuser did just that.
It seemed that she was vulnerable this year.
Why a brave Republican didn’t mount a campaign is beyond me. Other than it’s a dirty thankless job.
Still Sad
The RPKC dropped the ball HARD. They’ve been pretty open about the fact that they call thr shots with who runs as an (R), but much like Kerkman— they care more about photo op’s than recruiting quality.
She never leaves her phone out of camera mode – ego nut , no one cares
She should get together with Eric Swalwell
Isn’t Sam a democrat? I thought she was. I always see her eating with the loud mouth democrat/marxists at the gateway diner.
We’re stuck with this loser 4 more years
Until the casino is built and she’s working there, and it won’t be a dealer .
