The reason to vote for Seth Morgan is the same reason the state party doesn’t want him. He isn’t anyone’s puppet. We need more honest politicians and less special interest punks. He is a CPA, he isn’t bought and paid for, and he isn’t wanted by the political machine. He has my vote.

If I needed brain surgery I would not go to a proctologist. Auditor should be an Accountant not an Attorney.
