GUEST POST from CHEF PAUL ELBLING for WHITLOCK from SENATE

I received this from the Whitlock campaign – he has this endorsement from a famous chef:  Chef Paul Elbling.  Elbling’s bio is right here:

I am impressed – I ought to take Nina to this restaurant!  And Chef Elbling has proper respect for the Hanover Tomato:

Recipes Remembered: Chef Paul Elbling’s Hanover Tomato Salad

That makes me hungry!  But read on first…

I don’t know if you have noticed, but one of the candidates running for the state senate is doing something positively refreshing: he’s not tearing down his opponents.

Eddie Whitlock is running the kind of campaign we all want, but seldom get.  He’s talking about what he will do if elected rather than what’s wrong with the other candidates.  That’s particularly important in a primary when, supposedly, we are all on the same side.

Eddie’s campaign is based on two things, his service to his community and the Whitlock Test.  His record of community involvement is a given; what I find intriguing is the “test”.  You usually don’t know for sure how anyone is going to vote once in office, but in this case you do.  Not only is the test a useful tool conservatives should use in evaluating legislation, it is an honest reflection of Eddie’s political philosophy.

Simply put, the Whitlock test asks three questions:

1.  Is it a core function of government?
2. Can the government do it better than the private sector?
3. Is the cost the lowest appropriate level with waste and redundancy removed?

If the answer is yes to all of the above, then Eddie will support it in the state senate.  If the answer is “no” then Eddie will oppose it.  No tricks, no word games, just good conservative common sense.

That’s why Eddie has my vote in the June 9 ^th primary.

Sincerely,

Chef Paul Elbling
