    I heard his name a lot recently but only in the past couple days did i read any quotes or get to know who he is at all. Seems like a solid dude so far. I found this to be refreshing:

    The former public health director has stuck to a platform centered on affordability at home and an end to foreign entanglements. He said that Islamophobia is a cop-out because his opponents don’t want to debate substantive issues.

    “You can’t actually talk about what you want to do?” he said. “My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is not taking us to war. My name is not the reason you can’t afford groceries.”
