Andrew Bailey is the absolute worst and wasn't even elected. He was appointed by the governor after his predecessor was elected to the Senate. Somehow it looks like he is going to win in November which is so depressing.

Me: 2008 wasn't that long ago. It was like a decade ago.

Also me: wait... That's 16 years 😰
