Minnesota will have a special election to replace Hagedorn, then a normal election cycle with primary and general election in the fall.

Somehow I got dragged into a County Commissioner race.
Highschool running buddy, retired Army Blackhawk Crew Chief is running against the current  commissioner.
My wife, the graphic designer, saw his initial campaign materials and about had a fit. She is now doing all the campaign materials, yard signs, push cards, facebook ads, mailers etc, etc...
Incumbent recently changed his political affiliation from D to R. That pissed off a few people.
Our county roads are really starting to suck out loud, except the roads that run passed his family members and donors. People have noticed that.
The other 2 County Commissioners despise the incumbent.
My friend has a chance to take it, slim but it is a chance if the right people get behind him.
Could get interesting.

This is a fun race here in Ohio.  We've got Harper v. Ryan on the Dem side.  On the Rep side we've got Mandel (a wanna be career politician), five or six millionaires screaming about who is the most Trump-like, and Matt Dolan, a millionaire who is trying to be a conservative who isn't a Trump supporter.  The TV ads have been running since kast summer.

West Texas GOP wannabe railroad commissioner, 37, divides locals after posting TikTok video of herself TOPLESS while straddling oil pumping jack
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10540425/West-Texas-wannabe-railroad-commissioner-37-posts-TikTok-video-TOPLESS.html

The link has pictures from the video that are censored.  Still may not be safe for work depending on your work.

I have no idea if she ever had any chance of winning.  I assume no or she wouldn't have done this.  I am not sure whether to LOL or be embarrassed.

I predict she wins by a landslide.

Wtf. I have seen a few of her past videos on TikTok and they seemed level headed and informative but just WTF. Why would anyone decent want to debase themselves like that?

And that is a good point.  As bad as some of our D.C. politicians are, this is not as bad as other stuff I have heard.  It just makes me wonder if she is for sale in other ways in order to get votes.

Why can't AOC do that, asking for a friend.

I don't know that I'd vote for her, I don't know the rest of her ideas, but that video wouldn't stop me from voting for her.

And don't forget all criticism of her (AOC) is because they're frustrated she won't have sex with them.

To me it’s a sign of not having much common sense and good judgement.

I agree it isn't at all a good thing.  It just depends on how bad the alternatives are.   =)

About 30 years ago, I'd sometimes have lunch at a pub here where the older, and wealthier, patrons would chip in for boob jobs for the waitresses. VERY guido joint. I'm wondering is that is what happened with AOC - those don't fit her frame...
