Watch for a very active month of March. With the incumbents poor showing a strong push can be expected.

All three challengers worked hard in the primary campaign. They ran radio and newspaper ads, talked to numerous groups and
campaigned door to door.

Reitz ran several ads on radio but for the most part the incumbents were waiting for April 3rd. Don't let the poor showing fool you
all three incumbents are very good campaigners and the real fight is just getting started.
