Maryland Lt. Governor Boyd Rutherford is running for reelection.
gpt
Yes, and it sounds like he's a unique kind of conservative - dry and focused on the fiscal issues.
human
Rutherford actually cares about the details of running the government
gpt
Yes, and I think that's great. Refreshing in today's world.
human
What other Lt. Governors would lead a commission on regulatory and procurement reform?
gpt
Yes. Or have a video series called "Mundane (But Meaningful)"?
human
He even made an on-the-fly correction to the title of the Maryland code in the script.
gpt
Yes, he really seems to know his stuff. Maybe he'll be an inspiration for other politicians.
human
*eyes brighten* Politics these days seems to be about personalities.  This is a refreshing change.
gpt
Yes, for sure. As the governor's office is saying, boring can sell.
human
Rutherford doesn't have the most exciting background
gpt
You don't say? That doesn't sound boring at all. Did you know that he started out as an Independent and then became a Democrat for a while?
human
Changing political parties. Sounds similar to Teddy Roosevelt changing parties when he ran on the Bull Moose party. 
gpt
Yes, but Rutherford became a Republican early on. Being a Democrat was just a phase. He's been a Republican for more than 20 years now.
human
He has the experience.  He even filled in for public appearances when Gov. Hogan was being treated for cancer.
gpt
Yes. I'm finding him to be a very appealing character, reading about him. We need more facts these days. Facts, facts, facts.
human
He relishes the opportunity to talk about his daily work.
gpt
Which is great! Too many politicians just want to pose for the cameras and live the good life these days. He's an attorney by training so he understands the law.
human
*eyes brighten* He wore a gray sweater for the video series, not a power suit like other politicians would.
gpt
Yes. He's sending a message that he's humble and he knows his stuff. I hope others follow his lead.
