IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Monitor only if candidacy involves abuse of federal office, campaign finance violations, or attempts to undermine election integrity. Otherwise: ignore as routine political noise.
Why This Score
Standard gubernatorial campaign announcement with zero constitutional damage mechanism. Election driver scores minimal (1/5) as this is routine candidate entry, not election interference or integrity threat. No mechanism for constitutional harm identified. B-score elevated by media-friendliness of prominent House member announcement but remains low overall (7.73). Clear noise: routine democratic process, no institutional threat, narrow geographic scope, standard political calendar event.
