Playwright for Congress
At left is someone I’ve known off and on for almost 15 years, playwright and critic Hoyt Hilsman. And, possibly, future Congressman. He’s one of two announced Democrats (I know of) seeking to displace David Dreier, a Republican I see all too often on Faux News (including just the other morning while I was at the gym).
I’ve always known Hoyt to be a smart critic, one whose opinion I respect (in a town where I often make decisions purposely opposite to certain critics’ opinions). That, plus the fact that he’s got an image of outer space on his website (and funding for space exploration research and technology is to me a key issue — and one that no one ever addresses because they don’t believe there are any votes to be had from it), plus the fact that he’s a playwright, makes this a candidate that I’m interested in finding out more about.
If you feel the same way, here’s his website.
