Am I really voting for a Democrat? Well, to my chagrin, it looks like I’ll be voting for a Democrat in November.

No, not Hillary. I’m not insane. No, I’m talking about one of the candidates running for state Senate in LD6, Nikki Bagley.

I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with this young woman while I was volunteering at the Coconino County Fair. My reaction was “Wow, finally a state level candidate I can vote for without holding my nose.”

I’m no single issue voter, but I do have a strong litmus test, and that is the Second Amendment. If a candidate is anti-2A they can go pound sand as far as I’m concerned. Nikki passes my litmus test with flying colors.

Next on my list is fiscal responsibility. Check, Nikki passes again. In talking with her I joked that she seemed more Libertarian than Democrat, and she just smiled and nodded.

Whatever the letter next to her name (D) (R) (I) or (L), I’m just happy I don’t have to hold my nose and vote for Sylvia (make it a law you have to attend church) Allen. So I encourage all of my Republican and Libertarian friends out there, check out Nikki Bagley for state Senate, you may be pleasantly surprised.
