1. I imagine John has conveyed his recommendations as to who should succeed him.

Make it so.

6. Or at least discussed the succession with colleagues

in the state and national parties. I have no idea if he felt trying to designate a successor himself was something he should do, but discussing keeping the seat blue certainly would have been.

2. I hope they select Stacey.

3. She doesn't want to serve in another legislative branch.

[mahina]

4. Oh ok

I wonder why. Gov or President or VP only?

5. Stacey needs to step up and run.

We need her voice in Congress.

7. She refused the call to duty to run for the U.S. senate,

even though she was considered to be among our best chances to get control of the senate.

So she disagrees. She's been working for election reform since the governor's race and perhaps she'll be appointed to a position related to that in a Biden administration. Perhaps executing the election reform legislation passed by a Democratic-controlled congress.
