This is my honest reaction and not meant to denigrate the candidate.

The prominent and only phot pictured 2 workers, one Africn Americsn male, and older white male and the candidate. I liked the fact that the candidate did not dominate the photo and seemed to be listening.The absence of a woman in the foreground messaged to me that the candidate was not seeing me and others like me and was possibly not interested in my vote.

In my opinion putting women ( half or more of voters0 only in the background and then using the bokeh techniques to put them out of focus or blurring them and erasing their identity is not the best way to do a campaign photo to reach out to all voters.

The Explore Issues section seemed very good to me. It was well written and included specifics, showed he felt secure enough to not just state generalities. Calling attention n to the election insecurity is a real positive,

With a few exceptions, like some Af. American or Hispanic communities, maybe some union towns which may have mainly blue collar male workers.

In fact, you can only see women's faces.

You didn't scroll down? Or maybe the site was still under construction when you saw it?

When he announced his candidacy, he made it easy to remember his pitch.

I'm like a lot of other folks... I would love to see him and Chasten in the WH!
