Paul Scott for SOS?
Lou Penton (the 5th District Chair) sent an email out endorsing a potential bid by Rep. Paul Scott (R-Grand Blanc) for Secretary of State. Listed with Penton on the list is Bill & Michelle Voorheis (barf).
Touted in the press release is Scott’s sponsorship of a bill to allow pro-life license plates.
Scott angered many conservatives and libertarians in his district when he supported a smoking ban earlier this year.
I have spoken with people in the 5th district who are not happy with his decision to run as it is a good possibility that his house seat will be lost to the Democrats.
I have been told that if Scott polls 15% or better at the Mackinac Conference in the straw poll that he will throw his hat in the ring.
This is entirely possible because he has retained the help of John Yob and he will no doubt have a bus full of people already on the island to vote for Rick Snyder.
I strongly believe that Anne Norlander is the most qualified and she has waited her turn.
