Sounds like Abby Finkenour will run for congress in the first district

she is a dynamic personality from what I have seen. I think she may have the oomph to unseat Blum.

I like that she is an engineer and a Purdue graduate.

Anything to get rid of the cardboard cutout (my nickname for Blum).

I still haven't seen a stated position from him on the revised AHCA. He appears in the Yes column, but he sure hasn't stated any reasons (which is to be expected from a cardboard cutout).

First they told me he was "wanting to hear how his constituents felt" before he decided.
They then asked my zipcode and saw I wasn't in the district and hung up on me.

So I think officially he's undecided, but honestly his owners want him to repeal.

I don't know much about others in the first. I have seen Finkenour speeches and have been very favorably impressed.

I think she would make a great Rep.

Of course a bag of shit would be better than our current Rep.
