The Outsider
October 11-13 and 18-20, 2024
What happens when your gubernatorial candidate does not want to be Governor?
He’s terrified of public speaking, his poll numbers are impressively bad, and even his own Chief of Staff believes he’s destined to fail. Ned Nealy might just be the worst candidate ever to run for office. But maybe that’s exactly what the public is looking for!
