Taking back IA-01, one of the top pick-up opportunities in the country

Hi, my name is Bruce Braley and I'm running to win an open seat race in Iowa's 1st Congressional District.
I've been asked by several members of the dKos community to introduce myself, so I'm posting here the profile I wrote for Democracy for America's Grassroots All-Star competition, where we finished in the top 10 among over 60 progressive House candidates nationwide.
My race has been targeted as one of the top pick-up opportunities in the country by many people, including several on this site. I'm running for an open seat since the incumbent and House Appropriations Committee Chair Jim Nussle is leaving to run for Governor. As of this month, 118,854 Iowans in the 1st District are registered Democrats and 103,009 are registered Republicans. The district was carried by John Kerry, Bill Clinton, Senator Tom Harkin, and is currently represented by Democrats in 8 out of 10 State Senate seats and 11 of 18 State House seats.
You can learn more about me and my race, and read over 50 news articles about the campaign on my website http://www.brucebraley.com.
Please get involved with my campaign: make a contribution, participate on blogs, volunteer to get out the vote, and share your ideas.
