Karen ($1600) picks up a TDD on the $600 clue regarding Politics & leads Lisa by that amt. early on.

Cities as big as L.A. & Dallas have this kind of mayoral election where there’s no D or R after the candidates’ names.

“What’s an independent election?”…no it’s non-partisan.

Lisa ($8200) is still leading by quite much as the $1600 Fill the M-T Space holds DD #1; David’s close to 2nd w/ $2400. The female challenger records a $3K bet.

The name of a French soldier w/ a rigorous system of training gave us this word for a strict disciplinarian.

When Medgar Evers was gunned down in 1963 he was the Mississippi Field Secretary of this national organization.
