It appears the candidate died on May 23.

Edit: also, her daughter (and fellow candidate) has/had a Reddit account promoting her 2024 run for President. Most of the posts were removed by Reddit but the images of her car are still there from when she shared them in r/SchizophreniaRides. It's something, all right. https://www.reddit.com/u/RACHELHANNASWIFT/s/inPRkVDBDz

Looks like her daughter would have been her lieutenant governor. Is that actually legal?

Why would it be illegal?

Feels like a major conflict of interest for a family member to be a lieutenant governor.

There's nothing in the constitution that says the running mate can't be a relative.

Interesting! Would think there’d be concern about conflict of interest.

Holy shit 12 kids (one of whom predeceased her), born deaf, AND survivor of spousal abuse?

Not sure this is the same person

It is the same person. It mentions she was running for governor towards the end of the obituary.

From the obit:
At the time of her passing, Nancy was a candidate in the Republican primary for Governor of Maryland, alongside her daughter Rachel as her running mate for Lieutenant Governor.

It is. Towards the bottom it says she was a candidate with her daughter as running mate. Even asked for votes 😂

I'm pretty sure they're the same person. The obituary says that Jane Taylor has a daughter named Rachel Swift, who happens to be her running mate

So this is a good example of "Anyone can run for office in any party". Please keep in mind that your legislators are people, sometimes weird, deeply unintelligent people. Their only barrier to entry is getting votes. It is people like Mohawk Swift that make me glad we have primaries.
Kudos to the LWV for printing her words as submitted.

If you need another example of this, please peruse Delegate Frank Conaway’s literary offerings on Amazon.

Taylor/Swift…. I was wondering if it was a troll response or candidate when i read it. It’s unhinged

I was so disappointed finding only that one deranged answer. Usually the GOP has several candidates off their meds.

Seems like an amazing pitch to me. Vote for the Mohawk, we definitely won't regret it.
