I’ve been redistricted into a worse state house district in Michigan, from a terrible republican who can behave himself in public to a guano psychotic 2nd amendment is sacrosanct no talent total ass. The new state house 49th district has an incumbent, mad dog maddock (he really campaigned patterning himself after Dog the Bounty Hunter because he runs a bail bond business). His wife, meshawn, is also a real piece of work and is the current vice chair of the MI republicans. Among other things, they organized buses to D.C. for the January 6th insurrection.
Here’s the sliver of good news regarding the maddocks. According to Politico, as part of a group of republicans from Michigan, meshawn signed her name to forged election documents. Our fabulous Secretary of State Benson has testified before the Jan. 6th committee. The committee is getting around to the unethical behavior of state officials. Finally and amen.
The 49th MI house district is a tough district for a Democrat to win but maddock is not popular. He wins by a tighter margin than would be normal if they had a socially acceptable republican candidate. I am pretty sure we will have a Democratic candidate soon and I will be sure to post about him/her when that candidate files. We will get no help from the MDP. Frankly, they aren’t that good at winning elections and they will target only a few seats.
We have great grass roots organizations in southeastern Michigan, especially in Oakland County and that is where to volunteer base for this candidate will come from. But if the maddocks finally get their tushes in a sling, and hope upon hope, are indicted, we have a chance.
