Eagle-eyed Seven Days columnist Shay Totten blasted a Tweet late last night that looked to break open long-simmering rumors about Brock’s gubernatorial aspirations.
According to Totten, Brock’s website had been updated to indicate the Franklin County Republican is now a candidate for governor.
In a phone interview this morning, Brock attributed the web update not to an announcement for governor, but to a snafu by his web administrator.
Apparently Brock wrote web text for “three possible scenarios.” Somehow the texts got mixed up and posted prematurely, he says.
Brock says he’ll sustain the suspense until his press conference later today in the Statehouse.
While “governor is certainly in the realm of possibility, so too are other offices," Brock says.
“The reason I used to have years ago a ‘Q’ clearance (in the federal government) is because I could keep my mouth shut,” Brock says.
