House District 18?

Johnny Mack Morrow has held the position of representative from House District 18 since 1990. That's a lot of years even in politician time. Now, our Johnny Mack is attempting to move up in the world, having detected the scent of a failed politician, namely state senator Larry Stutts. That leaves an open position for House District 18; who will fill it?

While there is only one Democratic candidate, there are two Republicans vying for the seat: Jamie Kiel and Tony Riley. The latter two will face off in the June 5th primary. Both are newcomers to the political arena.

Take a look at their bios and look at what these two are really saying. We welcome comments and guest blogs on this race, as well as others in the area.
