BLOG: Atkins Shows Support for Opponent's Band in 'Battle of the Bands' Championship

State Rep. Joe Atkins sets politics aside, seeks votes for his opponent's band in the "Battle of the Bands" Championship on Saturday night.

A lot of political candidates think you have to bash your opponent to win. 

Not me. 

In fact, the whole point of this column is to show my support for my opponent, Paul Tuschy, and for his band, in the “Battle of the Bands” Championship at Dean’s Tavern this Saturday night.

If you like hard rock, I think you will like Paul’s band, Smiling Politely.
