I just learned his name via the article.
Can a socialist ex-marine fill Joe Manchin's seat in West Virginia? | The Guardian
Sun 19 Nov 2023
To launch his campaign for US Senate, Zach Shrewsbury chose the site of one of America’s most famous hangings.
Charles Town, West Virginia, was where state authorities executed the abolitionist John Brown after he led an attack on a federal armory a few miles down the road in Harpers Ferry, a pivotal moment in the lead-up to the civil war. One hundred and sixty four years later, Shrewsbury – who decided against attempting to get a permit for the event at the site of the insurrection, which is now a national park – stood on the courthouse grounds where Brown’s hanging took place to announce that he would be the only “real Democrat” running to represent West Virginia in the Senate next year.
"We need leaders that are cut from the working-class cloth..."
He seems legit but I didn't read the rest of the article because I'm tired of the media leading me down the garden path.
Will he turn out to be a Joshua4Congress grifter or a Lee Carter divorce guy? Only time will tell
Following the "just run the biggest guy you can find" playbook

The top comments aren't the garbage I expected.
One things for sure, he won’t win if he can’t even get out of the gate and breakthrough with voters. There’s an argument to be made that this type of politician is what is needed to win in WV, unapologetic, and looking to improve actual people’s lives rather than some milquetoast Dem or a Republican who’s only interested in fighting culture wars.
He won’t stand a chance without support, just saying: https://www.shrewsburyforsenate.com/

He’s going to be up against ghouls with more money. Doesn’t matter how shitlib he is.
He said the S word and will buried.
A hint will be when he's talking about Israel if he uses words like "complex" or "complicated".
I wish he had a more fleshed out platform. Hopefully coming soon.
