House District 40 is a race I will keep a close eye on this spring after having the pleasure of getting to
interview two of the candidates. Julie Borrelli and Jakob Williamson both did a taped interview with me. I have reached out to their other
opponents, but I’ve not yet received a reply.
Julie sat down with me first. She had a solid background as a retired Marine Corps Officer and a lawyer.
Married, with sons, Julie knows how to get things done.
Jakob sat down with me next. This young man generates a lot of enthusiasm because he is only 21. What he may lack in the wisdom that comes with maturity, he makes up for in his youthful zest.
Stay tuned. I will be releasing summaries highlighting the two candidates in the coming days.
