To be honest, residents of the 35th Senate District deserve a candidate who is better suited for the job than either Chambers or Richardson. But Richardson finished first, and Chambers second, of eight candidates in the March primary. Richardson has a longer record in office, and it’s not a distinguished one. Chambers has shown a capacity to learn and to grow into a job. She’s the better choice.
