Not really a stupid Republican idea. Since there was no Republican candidate for the postiion of sheriff of Cheshire County, New Hampshire, trans activist Aria DeMezzo ran in the primary, and won with no opposition. She now faces the incumbent Democrat. She’s running on a platform to end the war on drugs and not arrest people for victimless crimes. > **[Transgender anarchist wins GOP nomination for sheriff in Cheshire County](https://www.unionleader.com/news/local/transgender-anarchist-wins-gop-nomination-for-sheriff-in-cheshire-county/article_30d0e4da-f2b6-5c97-9f00-ffbee0536293.html)** > > Keene’s Aria DiMezzo is the first transgender person to win the GOP’s nomination for Cheshire County sheriff after running unopposed in Tuesday’s primary. ---
