John James. So cool he could be a video game super-hero. |
The 2020 race for Michigan's junior Senator's seat will be hotly contested.
The challenger, John James is a Republican
At 17, John made the decision to serve his country. After graduating from West Point in 2004, he became a Ranger-qualified aviation officer. John went on to serve with distinction in Operation Iraqi Freedom where he earned a Combat Action Badge (CAB) and two Air Medals, among other awards while logging 753.7 flight hours in theater leading two Apache platoons.In the 2018 race he gave the senior Senator, Debby Stabenow, a scare and it was a very, very close race.
The national exposure of a political newbie almost taking an ancient Dragon in a "safe" state to the mat resulted in him being able to raise significant amounts of money. By some accounts, he is drawing 20% more in contributions that Gary Peters, the current junior senator.
Gary Peters is the one who looks like Elmer Fudd |
It will get inside their heads and mess with their minds.
In all fairness, Gary Peters did serve his country in the Naval Reserve...as an investment counselor. I wonder how many desks he flew back to base with bullet holes in them.
Excellent point, and no question new blood is needed, especially that of combat veterans, who KNOW what it is like to face the elephant.
ReplyDeletePolitics is beneath me.
ReplyDeleteBut, OK...
p.s. this is like what the old "Brass Roots" was all about. Peace.
I've interviewed James. I have a James bumper sticker from last time. I hope he wins. But I'm not impressed.
ReplyDeleteHe's got to hit Wayne County, not New York City.
