Byron is a staunch advocate for the Second Amendment, School Choice, Fiscal Sanity, Secure Borders, Law and Order, and a Limited Federal Government. I expect these naysayers voted for that guy 4 years ago who embarrassed his family and friends and eventually arrested for drug possession.
He is playing a great role on the other side of the Potomac and should stay there . We need Jay Collin’s to run the state . He’s been there and will be better candidate for the run against the liberals in November .
These officials need to explain with facts why they think he’s fit to be governor. His record and campaign donations sure don’t. We really need people that care about the panhandle for more than political donations, but that hasn’t been the case since 2010.
Good to see Chip smiling.
But I’m not sure about his pick for Gov.
All of those endorsements for someone who is afraid to debate. He did not get my vote and I do hope he goes down in flames.
