In 2022, Chris Jones, a nuclear engineer, ran for Governor of Arkansas

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Jones_(Arkansas_politician)

He is an Arkansas native. He wrote a detailed platform about improving Arkansas. He visited every single county. His opponent, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, barely campaigned.

Jones lost by double digits. She absolutely destroyed him.

How the fuck did that happen? What’s the Arkansas culture like?
