Trey Casimir and Erik Viker, 85th District

Trey Casimir did an interview with SQVNEWS recently (less than 10 minutes).

He has stuck to his promise not to solicit donations, and he's only spent about $500 so far.

Here are his top three agenda items:

1. The Thruway
2. Severance tax on natural gas development
3. Close the digital divide (provide more access to high speed internet for those who want it but can't get it).

Trey is running an unorthodox campaign, to say the least. It will be interesting to see how many Republicans vote for someone other than the Republican this time around.

I suspect that Fred Keller will get fewer votes than Russ Fairchild did last time around and that Erik Viker will get some of those. See his SQVNEWS interview here. Like Trey, he says he's using no Harrisburg consultants and running a grassroots campaign and that he wants to get beyond the broken political party system. Seems like there's a consensus about getting rid of the "walking around money" too.

As far as I know, Fred Keller hasn't done a similar interview. Feel free to post information in the comments if you are aware of any.
