...RINO US Congressman Tom Lathan(3rd District Iowa)he voted to keep the ObamaCare Congressional Exemptions and "Re-Open" the "Government"
The state of our nation answers the “should”, only you can answer the “I”
Go for it. I’ll get you a few bucks if you set up. Then, get on Mark Levins show ASAP..or Becks..etc.
Not from IOWA here, but you have my bump, encouragement, and thanks!
Please keep me posted on your decision and your eventual campaign.
Of course, if you've never said anything that could come back to bite you, you are golden, and smarter than most of us here.
Be sure your family (immediate and extended) are behind you in this. It will be VERY stressful on them as well.
If I were in MI 1. I would run against a personal friend of mine. But, since I am now in AZ and have a good congressman, I dont have to. But I can support those like yourself.
A hairbrained thought just occurred to me.
There are likely a lot of potential candidates amongst us here on FR. What excuses could we make not to move and support a few of our own for offices across the nation? Even if only at the local levels?
Bumping to bray. He’s in OR but has writen material on elections and doing a lot of good work in OR for Pubbies.
He may have some advice he can send personally to you.
If you decide to run - best of luck!
Here is how you handle past personal things. “My personal life is none of your business, and when we investigate Harry Rieds/Obamas/Pelousys, etc criminal activity, then I might consider talking about my past.”
God bless and keep you.
Which cities are in the 3rd District?
Qualifications? Being a US Navy Vet is a nice thing on your resume, but what else is there?
Any advice for a FReeper thinking about taking on Frankenstein?

Also, looks like Steve King is the Rep from District 4 (right above yours). He’s one of my favorite Reps. You might see if you can get some advice from him and/or perhaps one of his staffers.
Do it. We need good people, The money and votes will come. He voted against us.
Do you have any experience in political campaigns or as a public official? What kind of preparations have you made to prepare to run for office? What kind of personal cash, fund raising potential, and base of support do you have? Running for office is tough enough even with adequate preparation and readiness, but without them, it is a misery and futility.
I’ll support you anyway I can.
I’m in California, but I’ll do everything I can to help you.
I hope your past is clean, clear back to the time your diapers weren’t.
