Hmm, he's been in politics for a long time. Probably votes the wrong way all the time, still I don't wish him ill. I wish he wakes up and smells the covfefe. Wow, he's 68, has leukemia, and still running. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_DeSaulnier Mark James DeSaulnier (/dəˈsoʊnieɪ/;[1] born March 31, 1952) is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for California's 11th congressional district since 2015. The district includes most of Contra Costa County, a suburban county in the East Bay. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served in the California State Legislature, representing the 7th State Senate district from 2008 to 2015 and 11th State Assembly district from 2006 to 2008. He also served as a Contra Costa County Supervisor (1994–2006) and on the Concord City Council (1991–1994). .... In May 2016, DeSaulnier announced that the previous year, he was diagnosed chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and had undergone chemotherapy.[3] While the cancer was described as incurable, DeSaulnier said he would still seek re-election that year.[3]

I went to lunch with my boss at one of Mark’s restaurants to give him a check and convince him to run for State assembly. (My boss’s thing, not mine). He did run, and won.
