Before the redistricting in 2001, his district ended 5 miles from my house. He has spoken at our Lincoln Day Dinners a couple of times. I’ve had the opportunity to sit down, and talk to him one on one, he is a great guy.
That’s great, I can tell he is a great guy just from seeing him on tv. I also think he has a great sense of humor and is a humble, warm individual. Which puzzles me when others here say his comes across as angry or gruff or too serious.
