That last job as an “advisor” fits very well with Cao’s father’s line of work.... and he also stayed until 75.

Out of session now.

Limited state leg time was especially sucky w/Huerta since the window is crazy tiny, FL literally only has them in sesh for 2 months

When Maine does come back the legislature is probably definitely passing a constitutional carry bill/gun package for her

You could go for that now if she wants to call up a special especially since they didn't pass any RLSA deal. That's actually way too involved a thing for a mini session though.

Emberton was a pilot for cargo planes in and out of the country, if you are doing a nam flashback you could give him a cameo
