The conservative Democrat is being term-limited out of his seat – and has previously endorsed both Wong and Vaichunas to succeed him. That could make for some hijinks, but both insist there are no Dwight and Jim-style shenanigans in their office. While campaign rivals typically cross paths at community events or on the debate stage, Democrat Phil Wong and Republican Alicia Vaichunas have to face each other every time they sit down at work. “ I always said he was my work husband and I was his work wife,” Vaichunas said. “The neighborhood will win because both had vowed to keep the office together,” Holden said.
