I emailed my 3 block reps and received an answer from all three. The response was nice, which is already more than I can say for the guy who left as my LEC rep.
Funny too that the guy who left declined to run for his own position, but he now feels he should run for Sec/Treas. I guess it is because he knew he stood no chance of winning, but he thinks the good ol' boys might put him in a job. I hope he has completely misjudged his chances of winning.
