Hillary and Tina cover current Las Vegas Councilwoman Michele Fiore and former Texas House Representative Mike Martin.
Hillary’s Story
Michele Fiore, a staunch supporter of Second Amendment Rights, earned a seat in the Nevada Legislature in 2012 and later in the Las Vegas City Council in 2017. But, it was her shooting off at the mouth, more than her policy, that gained national attention.
Tina’s Story
Mike Martin won a seat in the Texas House in the 1980 election. But, after an assailant shot Martin outside his home, he weaved a ridiculous tale that put his reputation under fire.
