I watched this tonight and took notes. I was suddenly asked to replace someone as a county delegate so I’m doing a lot of quick research prior to the country elections tomorrow. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker. It was a lot of quick ty0ing and then I tried to fix missing info. Some info is truncated.

If you have any feelings you want to share on any of the following individuals, please message me privately, as it may influence the rankings of my vote.
