The Golden for Jackson County campaign isn't a series of speeches from the Answer Man. It's a conversation, because the energy and ideas that will build a great community will come from all corners of this Valley. We'll tell you what we think, but we have to hear from you. too. That's the purpose of this blog. Come find out what the campaign's all about.

And in the end...


And in the end it wasn't very close. If you go to the final election results online here's what you'll find under Jackson County Commissioner Position #1:
Jeff Golden (DEM) (IND) . . . . . 32,980 43.62%
Don Skundrick (REP) . . . . . . . 42,509 56.22%
There's plenty we could say about this. I'll keep it to this: this wasn't our time.
Looking forward from here, there's a lot more to say. I had a chance to say some of it in a guest opinion column in yesterday's Mail Tribune. Because we're not done.

To all of you who had a hand in this campaign, my deep and warm thanks. Alongside the clear fact that this wasn't our time is the clear reality that times constantly change. So. Onward.
