If you are a Republican voter in Nashville you may have noticed that there are *no candidates* to vote for in the May 1 Republican primary.
Not one GOP candidate for any office.
No Republican Judges. No Republican Sheriff. No Republican Clerks. ...
Sure it would be near-impossible for a Republican to win a county-wide race here, but we've just given the Dems a free ride in August without having to even pretend that our votes matter.
The blame falls on all of us who failed to act upon the belief that every voter has a right to choose a conservative alternative.
You should absolutely still vote and make your voice heard - one way or the other - in the transit referendum. You can leave the other boxes blank or write-in your neighbor's cat.
Meanwhile in Shelby County, nearly every office has multiple qualified and competent GOP candidates to choose from. Be thankful for these men and women who have proudly stepped forward and for the dedicated and determined party organization that nurtures and supports them.
