I have never run for office before, but Ted is so odious that I quit my day job - I was a corporate energy and finance attorney - and am running against him in the Republican Primary. The election for this race is already in early voting and the last day to cast your ballot is March 6. I don't have much of an "organization" or much of a "fundraising" operation, but I'm the man with the plan on the issues that matter, and I'm a rational Republican - I know there are not many of those left.

So, hi, Reddit! I'm excited to answer questions -- I'll be around for about an hour starting at 10:00AM CT.
