The election is this November and I have literally never heard of this asshole. He also doesn’t appear to have announced a run. At this point I kinda doubt he will be the next governor. My money is on Drummond, the current attorney general who has announced a run.

I guess he just declared for lieutenant governor, not the main governor. I follow him a bit because he’s unfortunately attracted the people who are angry about our shitshow of a child welfare system.

Drummond will probably win, which is goddamn frustrating because he presents himself as a “moderate” when he’s just as raving of a lunatic as the rest of them. (Refusing to press charges on the cop who beat the shit out of that Vietnamese man, not doing shit about Walters…)
