Mar 2021

An affair and some personality traits that rub a lot of people the wrong way.

But as governor, his term has been scandal free and relatively transparent. He's focused on the people's business and has had the courage to stand up to members of his own party for some particularly crazy legislation they tried to send him.

I wasn't a fan a few years ago. But, I like the job he's doing now.

Republicans suck hard.
