    Wild. The victim’s wife took the seat and held it until 2015. She won a write in campaign by a landslide after the murder. But still… some voted for a murderer instead of a Democrat?

    Weird how the article feels the need to say the murderer was a “Democrat turned Republican”. People change their registration? Look at Trump… do we call him “former Democrat”?

      I kinda think it’s interesting to know about politicians who change their party, since usually they do it because they decide they just care about winning. Trump and McCarthy are both prime examples.
