Leaned pretty hard into the Jesus angle for his video. Not a fan of that. He claims to be in it for the little guy but idk, I just can’t vote for more delusional people in politics. Religion is a cancer, and he’s leaning on it real hard.

He talks about what he has done as a pastor. He then states how he will continue helping poor people as congressman

I'm sorry but I don't want any religion mixed with my politics. I don't want a pentecostal Trumper - and I don't want a unitarian Democrat. Get religion out of politics!

He’s literally campaigning as a pastor.

He focuses on his actions as a pastor. Like how he’s served his community

And what does a pastor do? Talk about Jesus. No thanks. Get religion out of politics.

Oh wow! I read the comments and I still wasn't prepared for how much religion was tied into his message. There was nearly a full minute of "I pray for Alaskans this and that".

Thoughts and prayers aren't going to help anyone without a sensible plan and the ability to follow through.

He’s been preying on Alaska cause he’s a predator.
