There is a lot to like about this Democratic candidate for Iowa’s third congressional district. The first thing I noticed is that his communication style doesn’t rely on tired platitudes and repeated talking points.  Your eyes don’t glaze over when listening to him talk; you actually learn something.  None of the dull, over-used political red meat candidates think we want to hear.  He doesn’t sound pre-packaged and when he talks you get the feeling that is what he really thinks.  This quality is rare in a politician and, in my humble opinion, will serve him well. If you haven’t checked him out yet, take a listen here.
