Tim "TPaw" Pawlenty to hold a donor's meeting to see if there is enough interest in him running for a second term as governor of MN.
I'm going to be going around this weekend gathering the signatures I need to run for President of the Board of Trustees where I live. I was looking at a larger office but a friend of mine in the neighborhood reached out and recruited me for this. It's not a big job, but if I do it well it's one that could line me up to run for Mayor next.
You are in VA, yeah?
Maryland.
Makes decisions about the community and community spaces, in this case about 6000 people. The President also represents the community to the city, which is kind of a big deal now because they're trying to let a storage facility built right off of the main exit leading into our area, despite the fact that this would mean the entrance to it would cut across two lanes of traffic in the other direction. Traffic is enough of an issue here without adding a deathtrap turnoff.
A VOTE FOR ZEALOT IS A VOTE FOR AMERICA

TPaw has quit his lobbying position to focus on politics.

TPaw was part of the lobbying group that pushed for the lower corporate tax rate in the GOP tax plan. They were also behind the Republicans efforts to deregulate Wall Street.

Tim Walz wins MN Dem caucus with 30% of the vote, Jeff Johnson for the Rep side with 45% of the vote.
I personally want to vomit every time I see a Don Blankenship commercial.
You really want to vomit? Here is a lovely campaign ad from one Republican against our current R governor.
I'll grant that one's objectively worse.
I'm just disgusted this Paul Bearer doppleganger thinks he should be holding a position of power in WV after his negligence killed a bunch of miners in UBB.
Got almost 2x the number of signatures I needed to get on the ballot, hopefully registered around 200 new voters as well. Turning everything in tomorrow.
Congrats!
Confirmed! I'm officially on my first ballot.
dope dude
