In the 35th House District race to succeed Democrat Steve Shannon, who is running for attorney general, voters must decide between Democrat Mark Keam and Republican James Hyland.
Both are strong on education and transportation issues. In Hyland’s two previous bids for public office, he developed a fine grasp of the issues and a thorough sense of district residents’ priorities, and the district may benefit from a legislator caucusing in the majority in the Republican-controlled House.
While both candidates are viable, we think it’s time to give Hyland a shot.
