Roy Herron Will Have To Earn Every Vote

Including that of his communications director’s daughter. Jane Q. says she will not commit to a gubernatorial candidate until she knows where he or she stands on a issue near and dear to her heart:

What I need to know in order to make my decision is whether or not our next governor is willing to consider clemency for Abu Ali Abdur’Rahman. I’ll leave it to you to research his case if you’re unfamiliar, and explain that aside from the piss-poor case against him, he is absolutely the kindest, most thoughtful human being I know.

Abu is a dear friend and I do not want to see the State of Tennessee murder him. This issue is very personal to me, and the power our next governor will have over it affects me more than any other problem he or she could possibly handle.

So I need to know what the candidates will do about my friend. Then I will make my decision.
