I chatted with a twp supervisor once who was clearly a R, yet he ran as a D.  Both party's had approached him to run, but he had to do it as a D.  Republican "club" who had to approve candidates was pissed that he won, and worked very hard to trash his reputation.

I vote alphabetically.  :rotfl:
When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. Luke 11:21

Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one."  Luke 22:36
