		What's unusual about Markham's selections is that Kocot, the Democratic state representative from Northampton, and Aleo, a Green Party member, are running against each other for the 1st Hampshire District seat.
		For his own part, Markham said he has personally told Kocot he thinks he is doing a wonderful job as state representative - but that he plans to vote for Aleo.
		Markham is a fervent advocate of a single-payer health system, and it is one of the reasons he supported Warren Tolman in the Democratic gubernatorial primary.
