Don't know him, but an interesting challenger to John Kennedy, here in Louisiana

Just caught one of his campaign ads:

... he has virtually zero chance of winning here, but I have to say I was impressed with his ads and message. He definitely hits the right points about what's needed here.

John Kennedy, that name rings a bell - oh right he was the elected representative from my congressional district. As a youth I wasn't even aware of his existence then he went from that seat to the US Senate and later President. I only became aware of him as a high school student "shanghaied" to a presidential campaign rally at the old Boston Garden.

Don't think my Kennedy had much in common with your Kennedy.

Hmm, thanks for putting him on my radar!

Yes, he reminds me a bit of a Beto, but Louisiana- rather than Texas-style. I actually learned a few things from his ads that I didn't already know, for example Kennedy voting against disaster relief for our own state (?) https://www.theadvertiser.com/story/news...-autopilot ... what the heck is that ???

Also, I have to admit that his views from the F-18 were pretty darned cool.

Confederacy, a great posthumously published read.
