Sometimes, there is no need to elaborate.
A fella named Frank Schmuck is running for State House up in the East Valley.
Yep.

This guy is not only for real, he is also a hard working volunteer, veteran and a pilot who helped Arizona realize rubberized asphalt.
I only wish every schmuck had the integrity of this guy.
After all, what’s in a name?

best ever-a former ambassador, etc.-Dick Swett-is running in the New Hampshire primary for U.S. Senate. Love it.

I’d point out that the guy’s a Republican, but maybe that’s simply redundant….

He’s actually not bad looking, if you happen to like the well-groomed, suit and tie, WASP type of man.

He dedicates his life to public service and is a war veteran from the first Gulf War. He is the youngest veteran inducted into the Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame. He lives by his beliefs and believes what he lives by. Not a better candidate for the job.

Yeah, it’s so shocking that someone who helped found and lead the group got inducted to it…

There are a lot of retired Jewish folks who live in that district (my parents live in a district adjacent). I can’t imagine them voting for a Schmuck, even if they agreed with the guy.

If you take look at Frank Schmuck’s biography (www.TeamSchmuck.com and click About Frank) you can quickly learn that he is a life member of the Jewish War Veterans. During the first Persian Gulf War he delivered Patriot Missiles to the Jews to defend themselves against the Iraqi’s who were under the regime of Saddaam Hussein. I can’t imagine that any Jewish person would discriminate against someone just because of their name. Hasn’t there been enough discrimination throughout history against Jews?

Atticus,
You might want to check your facts. The Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame Society was formed well after Frank Schmuck was inducted. Frank
Schmuck was inducted to the Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Society of past recipients formed in 2007. Frank was asked to and later voted unanimously by his colleagues in the Hall to lead the Society. He humbly accepted and its quite impressive that the youngest guy in the Hall, is asked, voted upon and leading such an incredible group of people.
Frank Schmuck has a name people remember. He also has ethics and love for others and community that few forget. Schmuck may mean one thing in Yiddish but in German it means “jewel” or “jewelry”. Maybe its time we put a real Schmuck in office.
