What the Houck?

Fishersville doesn't have a competitive State Senate campaign this year, but listening to Charlottesville stations I get to hear about the 17th District.
The Democrat is "career politician" Edd Houck (extra D means extra spending). The Republican is Bryce Reeves, a businessman who knows how to create jobs.
Both are helping the bottom lines of Charlottesville TV and radio stations.
Then this morning, NBC29 ran a story about the 22nd senate district. The Democrat is a businessman who said "the last thing we need in Richmond is more lawyers."
We'd agree, if there were businessman among Democrats than lawyers and career politicians.
If I'd like a businessman in the state senate, he ought to have a few friends in his own party to get things done. Otherwise, he's just window dressing for the career politicians.
