    Welp, let’s get him elected and some of that immunity with it. Him running against flock and showing he is willing to do what it takes should give him good chances no?

      Was going to say the same thing. I read his ballotopedia responses and he seems better than a Republican. But that’s a pretty low bar.

        True. The Republican incumbent that he’s running against, Tim Burchett, promised to legislate against Flock cameras. While that’s nice, I no longer trust the promises of any Republican.

But if they’re independents like the guy we’re talking about, I think just about anybody would do. Like an animal or an inanimate object would even be infinitely preferable to a Republican.
