“We ran into that problem when we tried to reach out to press regarding candidates in the area,” Underwood said. “The more we talked to the community the more we realized there was still a demand for a real news outlet, one that did print specifically and also one that did a real digital issue.”

Every political reporter in the state knows this guy is not going to win. So do/should they actually cover this campaign just like it’s any old governor’s race for the sake of “fairness” to some abstract process? Of course not.

Typically, I might side-eye process stories over ones about policy differences & ways to provide audiences w/ actionable intelligence to make decisions in a race, but this acknowledges that one campaign for gov might be less of a real campaign and instead something else: www.cpr.org/2026/10/08/v...
