Shaun Finnie
We move now to Congress and the CD02 race where Shaun Finnie started out as an opponent to Rep. Dan Crenshaw, then had the Republican primary voters hand him Steve Toth instead. Finnie was raised on a family farm by a single mother but got to go to college and eventually got a law degree and an MBA. He worked as a lawyer in the oil and gas industry and then as an investment banker in that field. He’s put a lot of investment into this campaign, on tough turf in a good year against a terrible opponent. I’m aware of his recent comments about transgender people, which were made after we spoke, and I would encourage you to contact his campaign about it, after you listen to the interview.
Here’s the transcript, courtesy of Greg Wythe. I’ve got two more interviews this week, then on to the Legislature next week. Let me know what you think.
