I've known Brian or many years and while I can't vote for him I support him. He does not mince words and is the kind of guy you'd want at your back in a scrape. Here is an exchange he had at a candidates forum the other night. This is typical of Brian:

Moderator: "Many of these 25 year olds, to be fair, began receiving benefits when they were infants. Don't you think it is a bit unfair to characterize them as milking the system?"
Commander Klock: "By age 25, my Dad kicked me out of the house. Health care benefits for 25 year olds? Heck, my advice is simple: join the Navy!"
That's Brian....
