As those on these forums may know, I am a Trump supporter (not necessarily as a person, but in the big picture) and I have conservative values. That being said...
I voted for Cory Booker tonight.
In my opinion, Rik Mehta has zero chance. I despise Booker's national policies, and I am repulsed by his failure to initially support the Taylor Force Act and his support for the Iran deal, but as they say, 'all politics are local', and I think he is an effective senator for the people of Lakewood.
I've heard from a big askan that his office is one of the best in the country for constituent services, and that he has taken care of so many issues for Agudah and other, including matters for individuals and for the klal. Yes, the stances he takes when he seeks wide publicity are often spineless and wrong, but I think that it would benefit Lakewood to be seen by the victor as a supporter, so that he continue to care about Lakewood residents.
Now, as
@chevron so aptly put it, So shoot me.
