What makes Scotty run?

So Scott Newcomer, who was willing to move and spend $30,000 of his own money, is all but the new state rep from the 33rd District, after winning the GOP primary on Tuesday. There's the formality of the general election, but in Waukesha County that's all it is.

Eye On Wisconsin wonders why Newcomer wants so badly to be a lawmaker.

Another question: Jessica McBride says consultant R. J. Johnson was "pretty heavily involved in Newcomer's race." Makes you wonder why he doesn't show up on any Newcomer campaign finance reports. Is RJ a volunteer now?
