Will the newly elected do as they have promised?

Dear Editor, Many promises were made by those running for elected office during 2020. Only time will tell if those victorious in their campaign bid will follow through with their promises. Yes, the 2020 primary and general elections are over and are now in the history books. Some individuals for partisan positions were elected and/or won the reelection. Some of the luckier ones did not have a challenger from a different political party, and were not required to compete in the general election. However, for those with challengers from a different party, they moved onto the general election and vied…
