Vote for Jim Hall

The Mutts rarely endorse candidates. Generally, they get a good laugh out of the insanity of politics, especially the more extreme excursions from rational debate. They concentrate on more important issues such as eating, sleeping, leaving their mark on the trail, barking at strangers, and running the trails at the back of the mesa.

But they do care about Los Alamos. They have all been pound rescues from elsewhere and know how lucky they are to live here and how important it is to manage our fate with intelligent choices and careful reflection. Therefore, they will tell you to vote for Jim Hall for the 43rd District.

Its rare to find a single human with the wealth of experience and talent that Jim brings to the Roundhouse. Its equally rare to find an elected representative who will come right out and tell constituents when the tempest du jure is actually in a teapot.

Keep Jim in the roundhouse. To add some kibble to the re-election dish, go here.
