Looks like there’s going to be another Republican throwing his hat into the Congressional ring.
Jeff Reetz, according to those in the know, plans to announce his candidacy as early as tomorrow.
Reetz, a native of Wisconsin, moved to Louisville in 2000 when he purchased 25 Pizza Hut locations in the area. According to his unannounced website, he’s a lifelong Republican who is misrepresenting the facts when it comes to health care reform.
He also says on his site that we have to reduce our debt, remain safe and maintain the Bill of Rights. But he mentions no specifics. He devotes an entire section of his website to small business rehashing the typical talking points with no real solutions or alternatives to what he disagrees with.
This is going to be fun. Marilyn Parker. Todd Lally. Larry Hausman. Bob DeVore. Now this guy. (For the record: we hear Reetz is a genuinely nice guy)
UPDATE: For those interested, he’s the owner of 2JR Pizza Enterprises, LLC.

From his website;
[Every man, woman and child in America is created equal and has the oppotunity to do with his or her life as they choose.]
Are we to suppose that includes…the gays?
That sounds very… “Libertarian”

The chance of any of these people beating John will depend almost entirely on what is happening at the national level, and not on what John has or hasn’t done. If John can run on his record, he will win.

And yes, this Repub sounds like he’s all for gay rights.
Riiiight.

We may just get to witness a GOP bloodbath. What happened to the GOP coalescing around a single candidate early on?

Hmm…
“We must be safe. Whether it is the security of our financial markets, controlling our borders or winning the war on terrorism, we must ensure that Americans feel confident their country is safe and secure.”
And
“No government or court should be allowed to take away our rights. ”
So, I wonder if he is pro-Patriot Act or not.

Oh, and someone please proofread his website before it goes live:
“Addtionally, our government wants ”
“assault on small business and it’s employees ”
“At it’s root it is ”
“will continue to be the economic backbone of our economy.”

Todd Lally is the only respectable candidate out of the bunch. The others are only good for comic relief.
