This bearded guy sitting next to me .. As we strike up a conversation that inevitably drifts toward politics .. This dude tells me he is running for congress ..and his name is Peter Jacob. I learn that he is a Bernie guy and I tell I am a Clintonista.

What I like about him that he is not afraid to layout his positions openly .. Most people will thread the needle , especially in a conservative district like ours.

I campaigned in our town a bit for him a bit last year and I hope he runs again.. but either way ..we will have multiple candidates in the primary and may the best candidate win.
