That’s the initial impression I get from this video in which Fran Person announces that he’s running for the 5th District congressional seat held by Mick Mulvaney.
There’s some good stuff later about he also worked as body man to Joe Biden.
But people with short attention spans will only know about the football stuff…
It’s interesting that he doesn’t name a party affiliation.
No because he sucked as a football player. His name might as well have been Scotty Spurrier.
Introducing yourself as a former Gamecock football player makes sense.
Here is a story about him.
He’s got some very impressive references.

The main thing is that he is not Mick, which means the crazy level in that race just went down significantly in that Mick was unopposed last time.
Announcing that one is a Democrat is not a guarantee for electoral success in the Palmetto State. Mulvaney ended the Democrats’ 183-year control of that seat in 2010 by defeating Spratt by a 55-45 margin, one of the largest of 2010.
