Brian Stumpe is a very good family man and attorney. I have known him since he was Student Council president at JCHS and has always been a very down to earth guy. Good Luck Brian.

I don;t know anything about him or his person he is running against. I don't care much for lawyers anyway but hopefully the best person will win. I am betting the woman will win though because shes attractive. I won't vote because I don't know them.
