Stopping the sale of the Nursing Home and stopping the bombing and destruction of Yemen, are the right thing to do.

to support. Chris Stohr was previously slated on the promise that he would oppose the sale of the Nursing Home. As a County Board member, he voted to sell. Now we are slating him again. I feel a compulsion to protest somehow. </div>

committee person. So I'm trying to figure out what to do about that. I haven't made any decision. That's why I asked for input. </div>

<div class="">Last night the precinct captains in County Board Ten voted to slate Chris Stohr for the Robert King vacancy. I voted no. I voted no because after we appointed him to the County Board the last time, on the promise that he would oppose the sale
of the Nursing Home, he voted to sell the Nursing Home. I have pledged not to support any Democrats who supported the sale of the Nursing Home. Saving the public nursing home was a top priority of Champaign County Democrats. We passed a resolution about it
in the Central Committee, which I introduced. I am contemplating the idea of supporting a candidate to run as a write-in against Chris Stohr. I welcome your feedback on this idea. You can reply privately or publicly, as you like.<br class="">
