What’s the deal with this asshole George Flinn? I hope he doesn’t have a chance, he sure spent a lot of money.
Relatively wealthy perpetual office-seeker from Shelby County over the past 2 decades. He did win a County Commissioner position back in 2006.
He felt he should’ve won the Congressional nomination in the 8th district in 2016. He lost to David Kustoff by 4% and never stopped running, and had a grudge match against him in 2018, and lost by 16% (though his margin increased from 23% in ‘16 to 40% in ‘18).
He ran in the 9th as well in 2012, but only got 24% against the execrable Cohen. If the district wasn’t so nutty and dysfunctional, Flinn would be a good fit there. He also ran for the Senate in the 2014 primary against an unpopular Lamar! (who was held to 49.65% of the vote), but just like with the present race, he only got a paltry 5% of the vote, as the race was between Lamar! and State Rep. Joe Carr. I expect Flinn will probably score between 5-10%, if that.
