Wow! I voted straight dem ticket. hrmjustin Nov 2013 #19

Since she runs Warren County Treatment Court, gets addicts into treatment rather than sending them to prison, so she got my vote. And the judge who presides over it is a Democrat, voted for him, too.

There was more than one office where no Democrat was running, so I didn't vote for everything. But I gave the DA a break, since she really is doing a good job, along with the judge who is a Democrat.

Many local offices here are decided in the Republican primaries.
