Brad Cooper of the Sunflower State Journal chases down stories that others miss. Today he landed a big one, including an interview with the head of 1776 PAC, an organization that has raised and is prepared to spend nearly half a million dollars on local elections—specifically school boards.

Ryan Girdusky’s Twitter feed reads exactly like what you would expect from a Republican PAC manager:

If you have ever wondered why local races matter, ask yourself why a group like this can raise a half a million dollars to go after them.
