Wade in the Water?

Senator Trudy Wade (R-Guildford County) intends to reconfigure the Greensboro City Council so that Republicans can win and take control of the city. Her Senate bill 36 has passed the Senate and is right now sitting in the House's Committee on Elections.

Her power-grab has animated a wide range of otherwise fair-minded people. One Democrat has already declared that he will run for her seat, and several Republicans are talking about challenging her in the primary.

The Virginia-Foxx-level arrogance of the woman needs a comeuppance.
