KEENE New Hampshires first trans, anarchist, Satanic candidate for county sheriff says shes not getting a lot of support from the Republican Party.
I cant imagine theyre happy about this, said Aria DiMezzo.
DiMezzo, who is running as a Republican with the campaign slogan F*** the Police, said Friday she hasnt had any help or support for the county or state GOP. DiMezzo won the Republican nomination for Cheshire County Sheriff Tuesday night running unopposed in the primary. Shell now square off with popular incumbent Democrat Eli Rivera, who is running for his fifth term.
Marylin Huston, Cheshire County GOP chair, congratulated her on her victory. Huston consistently referred to DiMezzo as he during the interview, despite the candidate identifying as female.
He did very well with the primary and that was wonderful, Huston said.
DiMezzo comes from the Free Keene group of Libertarian activists that produced Nobody, a gubernatorial candidate who changed his name from Rich Paul to Nobody. She also hosts an internet radio show where she is referred to as She-Male. Free Keene started as an off-shoot of the Free State Project of Libertarians, but the Free State Project has since distanced itself from Free Keene.
Huston said DiMezzo only ran as a Republican because of problems getting Libertarian candidates on the ballot. Huston said DiMezzo never showed up to the GOP meetings and candidate events, even though she was invited.
Aria really came into the Republican party because he was unable to get onto a Libertarian ballot, Huston said.
DiMezzo signed up to run as a Republican two days before the deadline when she found out long-time Republican candidate Earl Nelson was not running. DiMezzo said she would be willing to be more supportive of the GOP agenda if the party was supportive of her.
Theyre clearly not on my side, DiMezzo said.
There was an effort in Rindge to write Nelson in as a candidate after concerns were raised on social media about DiMezzos gender, religious beliefs, and politics. Nelson got more than 200 write-in votes on Rindge on Tuesday night.
People of Rindge did a phenomenal job. Very well done, DiMezzo said.
There was no concerted effort to keep DiMezzo from getting the nomination, Huston said, though Huston heard from many people who wanted to write in a different candidate instead of DiMezzo.
I guess thats just part of the whole political scene, Huston said.
Huston said DiMezzo is welcome to be part of the GOP, but some people may have disagreed with her positions.
If you look at their social media and their political statements they really do not fall in line with the Republican message, Huston said.
DiMezzo said the GOP in Cheshire County has only itself to blame for her candidacy. She ran in 2018 as a Libertarian and got around three percent of the vote.
I shouldnt have won this freaking primary. I should have gotten crushed, DiMezzo said.
DiMezzo wants to end the prosecution of drug crimes, sex work, illegal immigration, and anything else that she says do not have an actual victim. She said in a lot of ways, shes to the left of Rivera.
Im more liberal than he is, DiMezzo said. Theres tons of things people get fined for, arrested for, that dont actually have any victims.
New Hampshires RNC Committeeman Chris Ager declined to comment.
“I think I may have voted for this guy on Tuesday.”
Me too. Guess I won’t be voting a straight ticket in November. No pun intended.
Well, that’s what he/she wants...To get elected, then somebody to F*** him/her......
Let me guess - open primaries?
Yes, but is he a liberal transsexual Satanist anarchist or a conservative transsexual Satanist anarchist? She. They. Ze. It.
I guess no one can accuse us of not being a “Big Tent” Party!
(Although I think the tent is now a little too big.)
Simple, they walked up to the counter, filled out a form, and paid the fee, if any, to get on the primary ballot.
It is nothing but a trolling stunt. Until recently election trolls were not that common, except in our presidential primary. Now that we have more of them and they are gettting publicity, including people that change their name, we will probably have a lot more in the future.
Maybe in a couple of years some conservatives can change their names and run on the Democrat ballot to confuse the Democrats into voting for a conservative. Or just identify races where there is no Democrat candidate and run under their own name.
DiMezzo, who is running as a Republican with the campaign slogan F*** the Police,
“A sweet transvestite from transsexual translvania.”
Careful...that’s a rocky slope you’re on...
If it wins, I wouldn’t blame the police if the whole department resigned.
Can you get any more down home American than that?/s
Where is the late Norman Rockwell to paint his portrait for the Saturday Evening Post?/s
Thank goodness Im not in this district. I might have to vote democrat for the first time ever.
And Dean Wormer thought going through life fat, drunk, and stupid was a problem.
Maybe it’s Fund the Police! :)
Sometimes voting straight ticket is NOT a good idea...
That’s Ted Dansen! Come on man!
How did That happen?
How did That happen?
I voted for Nobody too.
