Personal note on the subject.
Since I first ran the route up Highway 90 in Campbelkl and Claiborne County I've reached out to U.S. Representitive candidates to show them around the most unrepresented region in the nation. That includes Burchett. Now my reputation's gotten beaten up pretty badly during COVID, but I can say Michaela's the real deal. When I heard that nobody ever comes up to hear the problems of coal miners, nobody, and then they shut down the only hospital available for ongoing black lung treatment, I began to feel humbled in the presence of someone willing to put her life on hold to represent people with no power,and for the first time in my life, felt that my vote for her actually means a path to a better world. She is the real deal and I'd ask everyone to read everything by everybody they can about this race. A pattern will emerge. If enough people are exposedf to this pattern, a clear choice emerges.Despite the hostility she faces from the Burchett camp, she doesn't feel compelled to open carry to campaign. The so-called beloved Tim Burchett can't say that.
