Anyone have a take on this guy? Does he stand a chance of beating Heinrich and winning a Senate seat here in the Great State of 'Eastern' California?

He’s not this Marc Rich huckster that we all remember so well:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Rich

“In a February 18, 2001 op-ed essay in The New York Times, Clinton (by then out of office) explained why he had pardoned Rich, noting that U.S. tax professors Bernard Wolfman of the Harvard Law School and Martin Ginsburg of Georgetown University Law Center had concluded that no crime had been committed, and that Rich’s companies’ tax-reporting position had been reasonable.[19] In the same essay, Clinton listed Lewis “Scooter” Libby as one of three “distinguished Republican lawyers” who supported a pardon for Rich. (Libby himself later received a presidential commutation for his involvement in the Plame affair.) During Congressional hearings after Rich’s pardon, Libby, who had represented Rich from 1985 until the spring of 2000, denied that Rich had violated the tax laws but criticized him for trading with Iran at a time when that country was holding U.S. hostages.[35]

On November 1, 2016, the FBI released documents related to the pardon, stating it was an FOIA release.[36]”

I’ve never heard of him. Being in the construction business in East California, he’ll run into problems with many republicans if it comes out that he has illegals working on his jobs. I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t.
