I have a good impression of him, although I lean more to the left on some issues. He is a conservative Democrat, and is a very hands-on Governor; he gets out with the people a lot. He is personally conservative on moral/personal issues, but has understood the need to legislate in the other direction at times, which he has done, and I admire that.
Like many others, our state is preparing to make some cuts right now.
I would want to learn more about their plan for foreign policy.
