Williamson County School Board member Brad Fiscus plans to challenge state representative and outgoing House Speaker Glen Casada in the 2020 elections, the Tennessean reports:
Williamson County Board of Education member Brad Fiscus, 4th District, confirmed on Monday he plans to pull a petition to run against embattled lawmaker Rep. Glen Casada, 63rd District, in the 2020 state House election.
Fiscus, a 22-year resident of Williamson County, was elected as a school board member in 2018 and serves as a director of Next Gen Discipleship ministry as part of the Tennessee Conference of The United Methodist Church.
Fiscus was also heavily involved in Pastors for Tennessee Children, a faith-based advocacy group dedicated to supporting public schools. In his role with the organization, he was a leader in opposing the school voucher scheme that ultimately passed the House under Casada’s leadership.
Fiscus will make the challenge to Casada as Independent.

If Mr Fiscus truly was a man of faith, he would support vouchers for parochial education. But I guess it’s easy to be against school choice when you are wealthy enough to move to a quality district.
That’s pretty insulting, Doug. But, par for the course for you. Glad you’re still reading … hope you enjoy!
