Charlie Norr appears to be the Democratic party's establishment candidate running in the 137th legislative district. Politicos on both sides have said Norr seems to have the backing of the party regulars.
Norr's campaign website is http://www.charlienorr.com/ . . . and after viewing Robert Brantley's page, you can see a difference in tone and presentation. It gives the Democratic primary voter an idea of the choice at hand on Aug. 8th.
Norr calls himself "The Champion of the Northside," although he didn't get there until 1995. Born in Baltimore, Norr moved to Missouri in 1990 and Springfield in 1995. He pledges to fight for more equity in education funding as well as be a voice for healthcare alternatives. A letter from supporters David and Vicky Trippe says they are supporting Norr partly because he believes the "Medicaid cuts were far too harsh."
The Trippe letter also says 2004 candidate Bill Sczepanski supports Norr. Compared to Brantley's site, Norr's is lighter and tamer.
But that seems to be the 62-year-old's style. I mean, Norr has pictures in his photo gallery which appear to be shots of him playing Santa. How do you campaign against Santa?
Norr faces Brantley and Richard Napieralski in the 3-way Democratic primary for a chance to win back Rep. Mark Wright's seat.

Charlie had his kick at the cat and barely got 30% of the vote. The democrats would be retarded to send a previously loser against the GOP. You will loose the seat doing something so suicidal. Hopefullt the dems will wise up and choose one of the other guys instead. The 137th won't have much to choose from this year from either party unless Ron Day can pull a miracle. Your choice will be socialist a or socialist b. Get ready to be taxed Springfield. Santa needs to pay for all those gifts he'll be promising. Our state Constitution says we must fund education but says nothing about free healthcare for all. To pay for the democrats pipedreams education will suffer and we will be taxed. 137th cannot afford Charlie Norr or any of the candidates for that matter.
