State wide we have a Senate race. Here We choose someone to go to the Senate in Washington. Here’s where we get our senator to put pork ( which is like getting funding for a turtle reserve in Bedminster) in legislation of bills like that of ; budget or other important legislative bills ( like homeland security) before the president signs them into law.
