I JUST read that brown is a Rino.
There was an article posted by Erik Latranyi on FR two days ago about this: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4243483/posts
Over a dozen candidates ran, Stephanie Phillips had a strong Second Amendment stance, other others all offered something. Brown ran once before, a poor campaign and too much 'vote for me because I'm a disabled vet'. He lost. Maybe he's got it together this time, not sure. Trump endorsed him, that might help in coming months but he'll have to get out and do the work for himself. Time will tell if he's up to the task.
