I live in Pct#4 and voted for Adams whom I do not know any more than I know Ms. Trout. But I know one thing – Adam’s people called me and listened to me rant about my country issues, mainly UMC/EPCH and transparency. I let them put a sign in my yard, always a risk in these contentious times but my neighbors are peaceful people, even the guy up the street with the Trump signs 🙂
