@Gitbizy You don't know what a carpetbagger is do you.
He volunteered at Big Brothers Big Sisters while he was in college. He then started working at AmeriCorps, whos entire mission is to improve lives, strengthen communities and foster civic engagement. He was teaching people getting them their GEDs. Worked for a couple of years in risk management, and also got a masters degree from Harvard in public policy. He finished that and went back to Americorp, where he spend 5 years helping kids in Braddock, during which time he moved there. Soon after he became Mayor of Braddock, a town so poor that their Mayoral position only paid $150 a month. For 13 years he worked to improve the town, a town massive hit by the end of US steel, a town that shrank more than Detroit which now cannot maintain its massive scale with so few residents. While there he was fulltime director of the local youth program, and founded a nonprofit that could purchase properties in the area and stop them falling into disrepair. As Lt. Governor he travelled the state through every single county where he answered questions and polled public opinions. He supported LGBT rights, pushed for a higher minimum wage and encouraged marijuana legalization. He was also the chair of the state Board of Pardons, and recommended 32 people for pardons in that time. He also helped fund inmate pardon application fees and expedited pardons for non-violent marijuana-related offenses. He also pushed to have the pardon process changed to a simple majority rather than a unanimous vote.
So who are we voting for? The local charity worker with a masters degree from Harvard who has worked in government positions for over 15 years, or the carpetbagging snake oil salesman?
