Donovan’s civic duty

Les Donovan would like to sell you a truck, but today is not the day to make the Donovan drive (as his ads say).

For the 16th straight year, the state senator hosted the official Republican watch party at his Donovan Auto & Truck Center. He cleared all the vehicles out of his showroom and made space for somewhere between 300 and 500 partiers throughout the evening.

Now he has to move everything back. He admits that means he probably won’t sell anything today. And he’s OK with that. Donovan says it’s worth it to support the Republican cause. (Read more about the parties for Republicans and Democrats at our Partyblog!)
