I watched it this morning before i headed to the gym. You should seriously think about running against her and you came across professionally as i'd donate to your campaign.

By the way what part of Fairbanks are they gonna landscape and repair?? Is it Fairbanks and Alcan?

OMG Casrto is probably the worst D.4 Rep in recent memory.
When is her term up?
This isnt the first time she voted no on things that would improve her own district.

I'm not voting for her. I don't believe she has done anything for the NE.

Didn't i read a couple of weeks back that the city council voted 8-1 to set aside 200 acres of city land to be used ONLY for an auto manufactuer (toyota, honda etc) plant out in the Northeast just north of the Patriot freeway by McCombs and the only one to vote against it was ...........you guessed it as she (Castro) voted against her own district for this .

I bet she'd vote against a new shopping mall out there too if she had the chance. She said on KFOX yesterday that she will run again next year and win re-election.
