EXCLUSIVE: After Election Interviews.
State Representative HD 78

Republican Primary Winner Dee Margo.

"Well, from our standpoint we would not consider it as negative. What we did was point out his [Haggerty's] voting record. And I took great umbridge with that [the negativity]." "I think the negative side [of the campaign] was his [Haggerty's]. It was far reaching and negative and far more vile and despicable that I would have ever thought possible."

Democratic Primary Winner Joseph Moody.

"I have a self-imposed contribution limit for this campaign... So we can talk about this issue. It is an important issue." "There have been questions raised about the wisdom of that decision but, I think it is important for voters to know that it is not about how much money you have..." "We’re going to be outspent by a significant margin in November by Dee Margo so we have to get out there and work harder than ever. But, we are very excited by the numbers and look forward to November."

Democratic Candidate Louis Irwin.

“I got almost 5,000 votes... that’s more than the incumbent got and almost as many as did his challenger who won”. It was " very difficult to over come [the name recognition]. Once Judge Moody’s son filed and given the high voter turnout... name recognition became especially important. I wasn’t able to overcome [the name recognition] and successful candidtes are able to overcome the challenges. It wasn’t my time."
