Regarding Jonathan Narcisse throwing his hat in the ring for governor: Why now? And why as a Democrat? From his stands in the past, it appears that he is a conservative and would be much more comfortable running on their platform.

What exactly does he believe and how does he plan on running the state? Speaking in generalities is something many candidates choose to do when campaigning. The devil truly is in the details. Specifics in policy and solutions are what sets a candidate apart.

The Democrats need to present a united front with all their efforts going to one candidate. That candidate is Jack Hatch. To support any other candidate is not only throwing away your vote, but voting for another four years for “Governor for Life” Terry Branstad.
