Not qualified to run the VA, but apparently qualified to be a Republican Congressman. Clearly the latter is a much lower standard.

Literally the safest ( R ) seat in the country. R+33. 80-17 Trump vs. Hillary in 2016.

I’m going to guess this douchenozzle blows it in the primary.

There is a lot of emptiness in that district. Without Amarillo, there wouldn’t be much reason to have anyone in office out there.

Good to see there’s an endless supply to lying losers to run for office.

Amarillo literally smells like cow shit, so it’s perfect for the district.

I guess we’re at the point where when the party leaders and big contributors ask you point-blank if you have what it takes, you can tell them you’re completely shameless and that’s pretty much all they need to hear.

He is thinking of running for the Texas Leg - not known for its sanity or its brainpower. Ever in its history.

He’s kind of perfect but we’re trying to flip the rest of those seats, too. hahahaha

I’ll bet our knucklehead rate in PA is just as high. Not as colorful, of course, but just as wackadoo.

Five Republicans have already filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for the seat, including Amarillo City Councilwoman Elaine Hays, Army veteran Vance Snider, former congressional aide Josh Winegarner, businessman Chris Exstrom, and activist Monique Worthy.

He’d be the sixth guy in the primary.

Didn’t he come up with a ridiculous medical report on Trump? Running for office means answering questions. Let’s hope local media follows up on this.
