Looks like Beto O'Rourke is running [View all]

He's coming Saturday to Waterloo in support of Eric Giddens, the Democratic nominee for the Iowa Senate seat recently vacated by Jeff Danielson (SD 30), and as you can see from the article, several other potential presidential candidates have already come, are coming, or are sending staff to help out in our local race.

My son has his heart set on Bernie, so won't accompany me, but I may just go by myself to see what all the fuss about Beto is about.

I'm not much for canvassing, but Eric Giddens seems like a really sharp candidate, so I'll see about some other ways to help out.
