I have just discovered that it is acceptable to run for 2 offices. Therefore since Bootstoots is so far unopposed in the election for Public Defender I nominate myself and also accept.

I would like to nominate myself (and accept). I can't let this be a two way election. We've had enough of that with Florida.....
