IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
No action needed; monitor only if campaign activity intersects with official government resources or misuse of office.
Why This Score
Routine campaign travel announcement with no constitutional mechanism, no rule-of-law, separation-of-powers, or rights implications. Standard political activity ahead of a primary; low B-score as it's mundane news coverage rather than deliberate distraction engineering. Falls below A=25 threshold with no mechanism, qualifying as Noise.
