Don’t forget Col. Chris Gibson who won in N.Y.
Sgt John Kreisel(who lost both legs in Iraq with the Minnesota Army National Guard) was elected to the Minnesota state legislature!
That was me posting about Sgt Kreisel.
Wasn’t Blackfive’s Matt Burden running for State Legislature in IL? Did he win?
Matt got run over by the machine in the primaries.
Ah, yeah, I was just researching it and figured that must have been what happened (loss in Primary), since I didn’t see anything on Blackfive about it. A shame, as he would have been a good State Rep. Hopefully he’ll have a good shot in the future sometime.
