I campaigned for him when he ran for Congress. This was during Covid and made things so difficult, but we had car rally’s and lots of calls, of course. I think his serving in Iowa legislature has probably strengthened his credentials, and his baseball career has certainly given him lots of good recognition. His return to pitching at 44 has a great story to it.
