Cavanaugh’s Big Endorsement
PSC Presidential candidate Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh has scored quite the endorsement from former GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee this week. I have understood that since bowing out of the presidential race, the former governor of Arkansas has been quite the party man, playing nice, building bridges, and so I am a bit surprised to see him get into this GOP primary. I hear that Cavanaugh is close to Huckabee and especially to his Huckabee’s campaign manager, Chip Saltzman.
PSC issues are not so campaign-friendly… we all want low utility rates but beyond that the issues get a bit wonk-ish. An endorsement from the man who won the state GOP primary has to be a great boost in this race.
Here is the ad with Huckabee:
She has a more biographical ad running also:

So refreshing to see a candidate that actually cares enough about the PSC to run hard for it…what have the other ones done? Who are these no-names?

Twinkle will be lucky to make it out of the primary

You Twinkle haters can say what you want to but that is a pretty big deal in a low-profile race like the PSC.

Jack Hornady’s outstanding experience - 19 years in professional positiona at the PSC - trumps a memaningless celeb “endorsement” - notice Huckabee endorsed Twinkle because she is “pro-life?” That has zilch to do with this office.
And the remark about the other candidates “not caring enough to run hard” is beneath contempt - especially if you know Jack Hornady and his desire to serve in this position. He attends ebery PSC meeting - EVERY ONE.
If Twinkle “wants this so much, how come she has NEVER ATTENDED A SINGLE PSC MEETING????
You should be ashamed of yourself, Whew.
