twitterLetter: Being a citizen has its benefits
Tuesday, March 28, 2000 | 9:22 a.m.
Tafolla might have made one additional point. Standish received congratulatory letters from President Clinton, Sens. Harry Reid and Richard Bryan and Congresswoman Shelley Berkley. They occupy all of the elective federal offices for which he can choose among candidates when he enters the voting booth.
I am assuming that Standish lives in Berkley's congressional district. If so, he has no electoral connection with Congressman Jim Gibbons; the districts do not overlap.
There is one additional federal official with whom Standish might claim to have an electoral connection, who apparently didn't send him a congratulatory letter. That official is Vice President Al Gore, who was elected on the same ticket as Clinton.
