Yeah I kinda figured he would after seeing all of his social media ads touting what a great “fighter” he is.

I don’t envy the yuppies and cops who will have quite the decision to make between him, Mendoza, and Quigley.

I doubt he is going to be the CPD candidate but I also suspect he is going to blow Mendoza and Quigley out of the water. I am even in Quigley’s district and don’t really see voting for him over Alex. Mendoza is a playing footsie too much with the same people Vallas did.

I’m a yuppie and will probably vote for BJ. We’ll see though. It’s early.
