Howard County Blogger’s candidates’ questionnaires

Hat Tip: David Keelan’s Howard County Blog

For my previous post about the Howard County Gang of Four – go here.

Or here.

I first noticed this on David Keelan’s blog. He also some excellent commentary on the Howard County election scene.

Running for office is an exercise in how to avoid complete physician and mental exhaustion. Hat’s off to everyone who took the time to fill out the questionnaire – and hats off to everyone who has left the comfort and safety of the cocoon of their family and homes to participate in democracy. It is not for the faint of heart and they are all winners.

(Update: I just read on the Howard County Blog: "Nate Sandstrom had an article on the bloggers candidate forum in this weeks Columbia Flier/ Howard County Times.")

Mr. Keelan wrote: “Kudos to Dave Wissing for compiling the responses for the Howard County Blogger Association forum.”

Be sure to read the rest of Mr. Keelan’s post here.

Below, from Mr. Keelan’s post, I have pasted the folks who are running with the hyperlinks to their responses.

Mr. Wissing’s Hedgehop Report post: “HoCo: Online Candidate’s Forum” is here… “… you can see the full list of responses here.”

All of the Howard County Bloggers are to be applauded for serving the public with the candidate questionnaires:
