                                                                                                                                                This will be the year for the “newcomer.”  Vacant seats mean an opportunity for new faces and those who plan ahead will have the advantage.  The advantage of a profession is also a factor.  We have seen successful efforts in the past by realtor’s and teacher’s associations to recruit candidates from their professions and then bring the funds and expertise of an entire industry to a local candidate.  If we can find pharmacists to run for legislative office, they will receive support and encouragement from the profession statewide.
