Voters in District 9 have a clear choice for House seat B.

While Judy Boyle advocates solidly conservative principles, her opponent Diana Thomas has many issues on which she is undecided, and some where she could be considered rather liberal.

On gun rights, for example, Ms. Thomas seems to think the 2nd Amendment is about the right to go hunting. On the other hand, Judy Boyle delcares "The Second Amendment protects the entire Constitution."

What does Judy mean? Perhaps James Madison said it best:

"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms."

Or in the words of George Washington:

“A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.”

Voters who value a conservative approach to education, tax policy, or gun rights would be taking a real gamble supporting Diana Thomas.

In contrast, Judy Boyle takes a solidly conservative stand.
