Party designationsEdit
Great work on these articles, but at first glance the "REP" and "DEM" tags look like wikilinks because of their colors. What would you think about something like this instead?
| REP | Ron McNesby (i) |
| REP | David Morgan |
| DEM | Samuel E. Lucas |
| DEM | Larry Scapecchi |

REP Ron McNesby (i) REP David Morgan DEM Samuel E. Lucas DEM Larry Scapecchi
- My druthers would be something with a little less emphasis on the party — see one more idea below — but I don't feel strongly about it. --Admin 15:19, 23 April 2008 (CDT)
