Candidate spotlight
Candidate for: U.S. Senate
Party: Republican
George Washington said he is running for U.S. Senate because the country has been sold out by the criminally corrupt two-party system of self-serving and special-interest-serving government.
He said that the only thing worse than a one-party system is a two-party system that operates under the guise of choice, while perpetually dividing the nation, enriching the corpocracy and burying the future under debt.
Here are the other local races with May primaries

Long-time incumbent Mitch McConnell is not seeking reelection.
He said that President George Washington believed that political parties and large standing armies could destroy the nation, and that John Adams believed there were two ways to enslave a nation—one by the sword, and one by debt.
Washington quoted Thomas Jefferson as saying, “I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of the moneyed corporations, that have already challenged our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to our laws.”
Regarding the headshot he provided, Washington told LINK nky that, since the country is being “run into the ground by a bunch of clowns,” he thought he would dress for the occasion.
“We have traded one tyrant, the king of England, for 535 self-serving elitist prima donnas, who have turned the heart of our republic—our legislative branch—into a wretched hive of scum and villainy oozing with corruption,” Washington said.
