One week after a landslide re-election victory, Democratic State Senator Chris Hansen is resigning to run an energy organization.
I suspect he was planning on resigning before the election. And yet, he campaigned and asked for the votes of people in his community.
Senator Hansen is now leaving the future of his senatorial seat to a handful of Democratic Party insiders.
A vacancy committee will choose his replacement, who will serve for the next four years in the Legislature.
Over the past several years, vacancy appointments have drawn criticism as being undemocratic, dishonest and an example of how backroom deals with party insiders shape our government.
