Your questions please! In just a few weeks, we will have a primary to decide which of the three GOP candidates running for Bob Watson’s House Dist. 30 seat (he’s not running) gets to go on to the general election in November.

Please submit your questions … about the EDC, jobs, state aid to education, the environment, or the many other possibilities … to elizabeth.mcnamara@patch.com, or leave them in the Comments section below.
