He is my guy! I don’t think it wise to ‘switch horses in mid-stream’ and WHY would we? Jesse is a proven vote-winner and a true conservative. He is far better known than any who would run against him on either side of the aisle.
The John McCain endorsing Frank Antenori will prove to be an also-ran in this race. Let’s hope Sen. Antenori doesn’t give up his day job. Sometimes he votes like a conservative.
With all due respect, we can and MUST do better than Jesse Kelly.
