Former Green Beret and Russellville Tea Party star Trevor Drown announced today that he is going to run for U.S. Senate as an Independent candidate, which greatly disappoints Republicans as one more GOP Senate candidate and we win a free sandwich.
Anyway, the announcement is not Drown’s first. Just a few weeks back he sent out a press release announcing he was definitely going to run … for something; he was just not sure what yet. To decide, he put up a poll on his website with the choices of Quorum Court, State Assembly, U.S. House, Constitutional Officer (such as Governor,) or U.S. Senate. The first result yielded the State Assembly (37%) followed by the Quorum Court (35%.) But someone spammed those results from out of state so they were thrown out, of course.
Regardless, the second and much more conclusive poll clearly showed the amazing and spontaneous support with 75% of all the voters (not sure the number voting) encouraging Trevor to run for the U.S. Senate. WOW! I never saw that one coming.
Anyway, he did not feel the actual Senate announcement was worth of a press release or anything today. But I did happen to notice it when pursing the Internets. Drown writes,
It’s U.S. Senate!
trevordrown2There is turmoil in our country like never before. For various reasons, it seems to be difficult these days, but not because I failed to do something in my life. When I see that the plight of my neighbors is similar to my own, I have to take a hard look at the lack of leadership in our elected politicians.
With the support of my family and friends, I have accepted this challenge, I have decided to work towards the goal of becoming an elected leader. I have formed an Exploratory Committee to run for elected office, as an independent, representing the state of Arkansas.
No comment yet from Sen. Blanche Lincoln on this development, but I am sure one the Republican candidates commented although who can keep up with all that.
For more information on Trevor Down, including lots of very interesting videos as well as a timeline of how he single handedly brought the Lottery Commission to their knees, check out his website. You can even vote in a poll to guess what his job is. Currently leading is insurance agent, followed by UPS delivery driver.
