    I had to check out his other ad because I've seen his name but wasn't paying any attention to mid-terms. Those are some powerful ads, and they aren't even attack ads.

      The guy who produced these is a personal friend of mine. I said years ago to anyone who would listen that he should have been given this kind of control - he's just that talented. He was on the Yang primary and a big reason Yang was punching so far above his weight class as late in the game as he was. He can land haymakers like this all day. You're right - they're not "attack ads" in the classic sense of "Tom X voted for Y and took bribes" but they tell a story about the opposition in a way that I've only ever really seen GOP ad-makers do well.

    Unfortunately, it's hard to find information on his positions, but I was able to pull up this website which gives you an idea of what he's about as well as his official site which has a video of him explaining why he's running. Both sites accept donations.

    Edit: something weird is going on with the second link, at least on my end. His campaign site is chambersforlouisiana.com

      You forgot to add the https:// in front of the second link's URL. That's why it's acting as if Tildes is the domain you intended to link to. [official site](chambersforlouisiana.com) = broken link...

    I love it. I can't wait to see how the "It's not my problem you're offended when I fly the confederate flag" respond to this.

      I'm sure it'll be responded to with racial slurs and death threats. The usual procedures for bigoted losers.
