Kennedy looks like a credible candidate TBH. Worse than Jones though.

He's pro 2A, ambiguous on school choice, ambiguous on abortion, and fiscally responsible. Former USN officer who attended Annapolis, interned for R Rep., Duke MBA, pretty strong on paper.

Only downside is that he's black and that's not going to sell well in AL. But this is a special election and blacks might turn out for him in historic numbers (which I strongly doubt given how disproportionate the resistance is white).

The party he belongs to will be a bigger downside than his skin color.

True, but a white candidate playing the moderate card might sell better to Rs who have racial tendencies but historically Democratic.. For a black candidate that might be difficult--I tried to look up Bentley vs Davis polls but didn't find any.

I got into contact with Hansen on Twitter. I'm very concerned about him beating Jones.
