Someone has said he has an (ACU ?) rating of 82% - has only been in the house since 2018

Connections to the Military Industrial Complex or Censorship Industrial Complex? Either is a disqualifer.

The problem is that every member believes he would be the best speaker.

Rep. Kevin Hern....

Who?

Can’t the Repubs just figure out one of the current possible clowns instead of adding one more to the mix?

Just elect him and get on with it the problem is you need a speaker and you need a Republican speaker so they have to pick someone and get going.
The thing about third in succession for the presidency is no big deal until it happens.
I love Jim Jordan and would have loved to see him as speaker. But this isn’t the presidency they have to pick someone and move along.

There we go. Done!

Between the 50th conservative percentile (McCarthy, Scalise and McHenry) and the 90th (Jordan)

I’ll say something in his favor. The local liberal rag (Tulsa World) would not allow comments on him. They had 2 liberals comment and cut off any more comments so only the Liberals who hate him can only be heard.

The good thing is, the RATs have to invest a lot of time to destroy conservative politicians. If this guy has no paper trail, he’ll not be a ‘lightning rod’ … I’m cautiously optimistic ….

Yes. Too much maga is not popular. Need more money laundering via foreign countries.

His net worth is north of 90 million. I’m not saying that as a pro or con. Just a fact.

Early life and education

Born on an Air Force base in western Missouri, Hern moved to Pope County with his mother, Freda Flansburg,[2] and younger brother after his parents separated.[3] He graduated from Dover High School in 1980 and Arkansas Tech University in 1986 before working at Rockwell International while pursuing a PhD in astronautical engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He left his degree program without finishing after the Challenger disaster in 1986.[4]

Hern received his MBA from University of Arkansas, Little Rock, in 1999.[5]
