"" "State representative. Babette Josephs was in power for over 20 years and it’s time for a change. I like both of the other two candidates, but I’m leaning toward Terry Gillen."

Anthony Giunta,
1000 block Christian Street


"" "Tayoun and Fumo. We need someone who thinks about the community. I’m voting for Tayoun because it’s all about who is going to help."

Felicia Cooper,
