Since he was first elected in 2012, Pennsylvania State Rep. Brian Sims has been one of the most outspoken progressives in elected office. He’s openly gay, openly atheist, and never afraid to pick a fight with conservatives who want to use their power to hurt people.
And now he’s running for Lt. Governor of the state. He formally announced his candidacy this morning:
I don't know if he will win. He's openly gay man in the state house. He's from Philly, I like his politics, but the few times I've met him he's acted like a jerk. If he gets nominated, I'll vote for him, but the guy's a dick. Malcolm Kenyatta is also a openly gay State Rep in Philadelphia, he is a wonderful guy.
