An Outsider Runs in Kentucky

Drew Curtis of Fark announced he’s running for Kentucky governor.

“A friend of mine inspired me to take the shot. After having deeply negative interactions with a local elected official, and finding out she wasn’t alone in that experience, she decided that the only solution was to run for office. She had no political aspirations, no prior experience, and no idea how to even pull it off. But someone had to step up and do something about it, and she did. And this past November, she won the election.”

“It was incredibly inspiring. Rather than just accept that ineffective government is a way of life, she actually did something about it.”
