CA-25: George Papadopoulos just filed for a House run in Rep. Katie Hill's district

[RandySF]

A one-time campaign foreign policy adviser to President Donald Trump who served 12 days in jail for lying to the FBI has filed paperwork to run for the seat occupied by resigning California Democratic Rep. Katie Hill.

George Papadopoulos, who confirmed he was considering a House run after being released from jail in December, filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Elections Commission on Tuesday. The document lists his party affiliation as Republican.

If Papadopoulos decides to launch a formal campaign, he will face stiff competition.

California’s 25th District is one of seven in the Golden State that Democrats flipped in 2018. After winning a competitive primary, Hill went on to defeat former GOP Rep. Steve Knight by 9 points.

1. ... released from jail in December

That ought to count as a big plus for GOP voters.

2. Fascinating.....

Will he run as Trump's Coffee Boy? He's got a lot of balls, I'll give him that.

3. It gets worse.

He apparently knew the revenge porn was coming out. He was probably in on it to try and get her to resign.

This is why Democrats need to stop throwing themselves on their sword immediately. Katie Hill shouldn't have resigned over this.
