Jackson County Candidate Justice Horn Shares EPIC Swimwear Pix

Just in case he thinks better of it and in the interest of news and public education . . . 

The caption proudly reads: "Thick thighs save lives." 

It's a bold statement in a post that probably overshadows the guy's work meeting with the Mexican consulate in KC this week and talking about international LGBT rights along with getting nominated as the "activist of the year" in KC Magazine.

To wit . . .

I'll go ahead and put this out there because this blog is all about journalistic integrity . . .

NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY HAS A CANDIDATE SHARED SPEEDO SWIMSUIT PIX ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL!!!

At the very least . . . 

Voters shouldn't doubt the dude's willingness to "put it all out there" which might be welcome in today's current political climate. 

Still . . . 

It's fair to say that the social media share is "unorthodox" for a young man on the campaign trail. 

 As always, to be fair . . .

They're just swimsuit pix and probably not as racy as what we'll see at local pools & beaches this Summer.

Moreover . . .

Two years into the pandemic the guy's probably in better shape than most of his constituents. 

Again, at the very least he's way more comfortable with his body than most people . . . 

TKC hasn't (yet) given back all of a major weight loss from 7 years ago and I'm still PROUDLY wearing 2XL shirts that are way too big because tight clothes are for people selling stuff on the Internets.

But I digress . . .

This post is really about DISCLOSURE IN LOCAL POLITICS . . .

To that end . . .

Maybe this up close & personal photo spread is part of the "new normal" that we keep hearing about on national news talk shows. 

Justice Horn has proven himself to be a prolific and skillful public figure who has garnered global publicity and now seeks a job as an elected official. 

It's unclear if voters will give him the nod, but what we know for sure is that he seems unafraid to share more of himself with the electorate than ANY CANDIDATE in Kansas City history. 

You decide . . .
