Are you familiar with him? I bet he doesn't weigh 140 lbs.
Ironically, if elected he would represent the home of James Byrd, Jr., of hate crime fame...and elected by white people.
I don’t know him personally, but I know of him. (And, yes, the fact that he’s black and from Jasper made his election to the state house more noteworthy to the media.)
I hope he runs; we need a greater number of black conservatives in Congress so as to remove the stigma that young blacks feel regarding their conservative instincts so that they can “comoe out of the closet” and start voting Republican. All we need to forge a national supermajority is 25% of the black vote; if Democrats only get 75% of the black vote, they won’t be able to win more than maybe 40 Senate seats and 150 House seats.
