It is a great day to be a Republican

Perhaps my memory is faulty but it has certainly been a while since we have had a full slate of Republicans running on a statewide ticket. When was the last time we had candidates for:

• Governor (and Lt. Gov)
• Secretary of Agriculture
• Secretary of State
• State Auditor
• State Treasurer
• Attorney General

I read over at The Iowa Republican that we may have a full slate this year. Apparently Brenna Findley, Steve King's chief of staff is considering throwing her hat in the ring to run against long-time Democrat Attorney General Tom Miller. Miller was first elected when I was in high school (and since I am an old guy — that was a long time ago!).

Brenna is a young woman with an impressive list of accomplishments. She is an Iowa girl who was homeschooled and went to Drake University. She then earned a law degree at the University of Chicago. The Iowa Republican piece has more details on this impressive young woman. 

I met Brenna while serving on the State Platform Committee some years ago. If I recall correctly Craig Robinson may have been the chairman that year. I was very impressed by Brenna. She was intelligent and articulate (she graduated from UC Law after all) and she was enthusiastic about core Republican issues.

Brenna is a rising star in our party, and this is a great year to be a Republican.

Yes David. Brenna served on the 2004 state platform committee which I chaired, and you made me learn Roberts Rules of Order...

But Craig, did he teach you to just "Chung it" baby!?
