"Hand-Me-Down" State's Attorney

In an effort to avoid a long post, I deliberately avoided a missive about the argument of whether it's a good thing or not that Young Ingemunson is running for his Daddy's old public payroll job.

Of course, it makes sense for a Democrat to run. That way, the campaign lasts about a year. Otherwise, with the local media the way it is, it only lasts about two months.

If Young Ingemunson's qualified, and presumably more qualified than some other contender, what the heck.

But I doubt it.

I know a couple of attorneys who would wipe the floor with this young, fresh-faced kid, but who won't run because they're "Republicans." Reagan Republicans, at that.

And here is why Young Ingemunson is running:

Boyd Ingemunson is the candidate for Kendall County State's Attorney that has the strong vision, energy, and passion that will make Kendall County the best place to live, work, and raise a family.

Boyd's vision includes:
Safe Neighborhoods
Safe Schools
Keeping Gangs off the Streets
Protecting our Seniors from fraud and identity theft

Swear to God: That's all there is in the section on Young Ingemunson's website about his desire to hold public office.

Why in the world can't Democrats in Kendall County find an attorney to take this Hand-Me-Down job away from little Boyd?

Maybe now is the time to talk to a guy in Plano named Russell Baker and see if he still has the fire in his belly to run for public office. As a Democrat.
