[Secretary of State Liberal Hack]

If Mark Robinson wins, the race is Likley Democrat barring a red wave enviorment and even then Stein will be favoured.

What’s the Cheri Berry effect?

Cherie Berry (I misspelled thanks to Cheri Beasley) is the former Republican Commissioner of Labor, who overperformed relative to what you might expect because her office decided to place photos of her in every elevator in the state.

Since she left office in 2021, Dobson is the guy who's in every elevator now. He hasn't quite had the same meme-ifaction as Berry, whose ubiquity and amusing rhyming name earned her the nickname of "the Elevator Queen."

Huh looked it up, someone even dressed up as her for Halloween*. Nikki Fried tried something similar in Florida and put her name on every gas station. Wonder how it would have gone for her if she had tried to run for election
*is there something more atlas than dressing up as random elected row-offices.

The thing about the plaques with Cheri Berry's name on it is that they're hard to not notice; they're always above the control panels of the elevator at about eye level. If you're just standing in an elevator the labor commissioner's photo is really hard to miss, unlike a gas station where Nikki Fried is not going to be as visible unless her photo is required to be by the pumps or something.

Josh Dobson is the politician who I see most frequently, including prominent national figures.

That's literally what she did, her name and photo was on every pump. I think the fact that she lost the primary does indicate that the effect is a bit limited.
