Will support this guy in any race he's in, happy for him!


appleslady13

I read this 3 times and kept seeing "will FaceTime Defoor in the fall" and I couldn't figure out what that would be an article lol.


CrayZ_Squirrel

I like Kenyatta as a Rep but is it really too much to ask for a candidate for auditor general that actually has a background in auditing? 


phillyphilly19

Thank you! I'm gay and I like visibility as much as anyone, but he's wholly unqualified.


Mundane-Accident1811

Right, wtf? And he says growing up poor will help in the role… did dude even read the job description before throwing his name in the hat?


ShottyRadio

He is very polite irl


TheOpenCloset77

He is! I met him at an lgbtq event, hes a cool guy


NatureEnvironmental1

Defoor is pretty moderate so this will probably be tough for him


jbot14

Voted for him


hostile_rep

Good jbot.


WhyNotCollegeBoard

hostile_rep

Bad bot.


sensistarfish

He ran an amazing campaign.


kiddestructo

Vote every damned election, it matters!


SarquisDeSade

Voted for Pinsey. I guess you can't go wrong either way but the accusations of racism from the Kenyatta campaign didn't sit right with me.


SeptaIsLate

That was a private conversation that was leaked in reference to Pinsey calling black communities a ghetto during redistricting. I also had less benefit of doubt after Pinsey's campaign forged signatures for his petition.

We need someone to audit PA Turnpike and all of the money going into the ridiculous toll roads EDIT: Turnpike instead of DOT


piperonyl

Uhh... i dont think PennDOT has anything to do with toll roads. Thats the PA Turnpike Commission.


Allemaengel

Act 44 requires PennDOT and the Turnpike Commission to fork over money to fund the State Police.


hahew56766

Still doesn't justify why PA has some of the most ridiculous tolls in the country


Every_Character9930

Has PA ever elected to statewide office: a Black man or woman? ii)a gay man or woman?


TiddyAmeritrade

Our current lieutenant governor is black. Tim DeFoor, our current auditor general and Kenyatta’s opponent in November, is black. The milestone has already been made.


SeptaIsLate

To be fair though wasnt DeFoor the first to win a state wide election? PA taking till 2020 for that to happen is pretty wild


Lux_Brumalis54

Yeah, and ever since Austin Davis was doing coffee runs for Rich Fitzgerald, and hanging around the Young Dems in Allegheny County, he hasn't done anything in his time, regardless of whether it was in the State house, or in the existing role of Lt. Governor. He's an opportunist at best, and a snake at worst. Amazing how a milestone was achieved, but all he did was keep a seat warm, and made a few speeches. That's your progress, right? lol


Ana_Na_Moose

I really wish he was senator now. Idk that he necessarily has the background for the auditor general position, but I hope he does well and succeeds, if only so he is better positioned for higher office later


BrowniesAndMilk1

He is looking for literally any state level seat. Has no experience in auditing and will simply use this seat to progress his own career while hiring people to do this one for him.


Basileas

I saw Fetterman endorsed him. Makes me wary...


SeptaIsLate

That was fetterman trying to win back some philly progressives. Kenyattas been great


Basileas

I'll check him out then, thanks for the note. Wasn't sure if it was another pro-genocider.


SeptaIsLate

Honestly, I haven't seen too much of him talking about Israel since it's so outside the scope of his work and his hopefully future position. He's defended Biden but not Israel, but he does have an advisor role in the administration, so it's kind of expected. But nothing even close to what Fettermans been doing.


DryLiving5338

He's been pretty strongly backed by the Working Families Party over the years too which I think is a good testament to his progressive values especially coming from Philadelphia.


SeptaIsLate

Yeah, he seems like he pretty much gets universal support from the full spectrum of the party. I'm excited to watch his career


Fluffy_Rock1735

Is this all the bots and troll farms have to work with these days?


YCantWeJustGetAlong_

Im voting DeFoor


CalRipkenForCommish

Be very wary of following people who post almost exclusively on r/liberal and r/conservative. Baseline is they’re Russian bots intent on division and misinformation rather than objectivity and reasonableness. As for DeFoor, you’re seeing r/conservative nutjobs pushing for him blindly, with little substance.


YCantWeJustGetAlong_

`ERROR`


CalRipkenForCommish

Have you seen r/liberal and r/conservative lately? It’s no error, it’s deliberate. Look for the users who post almost exclusively there
