Next up is Kinky Friedman. Over the past year, he has stirred up a lot of attention for his run for Governor. He had a reality show, has done many interviews, has an action figure, and has been making his way around the state making speeches (making a pitstop here at UNT for a speech). It seems to me that his main audience is college students and those "non-traditional" voters. If you want more specific details, visit his website at www.kinkyfriedman.com. Here are his stats:
Experience: Writer and Musician
Issues:
Education: Raise teachers pay, legalize casino gambling to fund education, stop the practice of "Teaching to the test".
Healthcare: Does not agree with the cancellation of the CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program)
Energy: Wants to encourage development of new methods of energy generation, really pushing for the use of biodiesel.
Visiting his site, I was a little dissapointed with the amount of information provided for his stance on issues. They are really scant and sketchy at that, where you have to interpret his stance instead of reading it directly and knowing exactly. As I said before, please consult his website for more details... www.kinkyfriedman.com
