According to Democratic strategist Jake Dilemani, a consultant for Mercury, a firm that
advises officials on the national,
state and local levels, Killian is falling well below the levels needed to win the race.

local and state officials are besieged by a cacophony of opinions from those who hope to

Moore, who has testified before Congress on several occasions, regularly
advises federal,
state and local officials on ways to streamline government
and reduce costs.
