    Can't offer any useful information other than to say that Carl Brizzi could surgically attach pistols to both of his hands and I still wouldn't vote for him.

    What is the polar opposite of a ringing endorsement? ^^^^^^This!^^^^

    I will likely vote for Victoria Spartz. She is currently my state senator. While she's no Jim Lucas (few in the state legislature are) she has never given me reason to doubt her support of the second amendment.

    I met with Mr. Abernathy last week and I like what I saw. He asked very good questions and was genuinely concerned about what he could do for the community. He has an impressive resume but was humble about himself. I don’t for sure where he stands with the 2A but I’m pretty confident he is a strong supporter. He commented about how some people in DC are calling for martial law because of C-19 and he was was like pump the brakes people!

    So far I am most interested in Abernathy, Henderson, and Spartz.

    Spartz interests me, as the naturalized citizens I have dealt with have been of two camps, either culturally opposed to guns regardless of what they learned during the effort to earn their citizenship; or fully knowledgeable of why the Second Amendment exists and strong supporters. My hope is, coming from a former Soviet state, and one currently at war with Russia she will be a strong supporter.

    Henderson and Abernathy; I just need to research more. Of the three only Mrs. Spartz will have a voting record to peruse, but I haven't done so yet.

    Mrs. Henderson gives me pause, if nothing else for the Senator Braun endorsement. Mr. Abernathy starts out strong for being a USMA graduate and a Ranger. I've never personally met anyone with those qualifications which were anti-gun (though I'm sure they exist).

    I'll be checking back here to obtain the collective's wisdom.

    I believe it was Spartz that was on Guy Relford’s show last week. I liked her. I can’t speak to how she compares to the others listed but I liked her.

    I wouldn't give someone a pass just because they went to the USMA and ranger school. Most officers go to ranger school it doesn't mean anything. I've become a bit shocked at the amount of officers i've encountered that are anti-gun. Being a republican though there may be some hope.

    I have been somewhat disappointed in Spartz.

    Can you provide some examples of votes she cast, that you would have voted differently?

    Care to give a synopsis of your position on governance of the Nation?

    Yes! We are building the team now! I will go full speed on everything very soon. But to answer you now, one thing is this pile of crap NDAA with the red flag in place… I would never enable someone to tell the police you’re scary and that be enough to compromise your gun rights!

    Victoria Spartz has the best voting record of the entire Indiana delegation in Washington of Senators and Representatives.

    Compared to RINO Susan Brooks the previous Representative from the 5th District who I never voted for, I was happy to vote for Spartz and see her elected.

    Conservative Review rates her at A 92%.
    You can see her ACTUAL overall voting record here.

    I’m running in this district, against Spartz, and I guarantee I’m the most 2A friendly candidate of 2022.
    I support your right to run for office as much as anybody.
    Which party's Primary will you be in so people who want to vote for you can choose the correct party primary ballot?

    Also, what are your stands on other issues besides the 2nd Amendment?
