"Conservative" Democrat who loves his gunz.

This much is for sure: Hal Shouse knows a thing or two about targeting pork.The Navy veteran went from running strip clubs and an escort service in Arizona to building a thriving hog-killing business in southwest Georgia.

Many nights, he can be found armed with high-powered assault rifles in search of feral hogs menacing another sprawling farm. By day, he’s become a political junkie who can’t pry his eyes from cable news.“I can’t yell at my TV anymore. I have no other choice,” he said of his decision to apply for Isakson’s job. “I know I’m just one man and I’m not able to single-handedly fix anything, but I’m hoping I can motivate other patriots sick of partisanship.”The 49-year-old, who considers himself a conservative Democrat, wants to preserve gun rights and provide more support for law enforcement. He says his bluntness will impress Kemp, who also had a knack for straight talking on the campaign trail.But he’s preparing to run for the seat regardless of whether he’s Kemp’s pick — and he’s realistic about his infinitesimally small chances — partly so he can show off his brand of politics on the debate stage.“I’m telling you right now, they’re not going to be able to answer the questions the way I can,” he said. “It’s going to be a grind. I’ve got to visit 159 counties. And I’ve got to try not to cuss — I’m a sailor, but I’m going to have to slow my roll.”

Matt Lieberman- son of Joe Lieberman and Hal Shouse. Both of these guys are conservative Democrats.
Shouse could perform will in the rural parts of GA.
Democrats have plenty of strong candidates running against Perdue who is running for the other GA US Senate seat. Teresa Tomlinson-D is the front runner for that seat.

Lieberman or Shouse if they get elected in 2020 can face a Democratic primary challenge in 2022 against a more progressive Democratic challenger.
