Fair enough, but I meant in a major position on the national stage (House, Senate or governor). I don’t count being a representative at the state level as serious experience toward a Presidential bid, just a step to those more prominent positions.
I sort of thought that might have been what you meant, however, Marco did get elected to the state house Speaker position, and then straight to the US Senate. And he was in the state house since 2000. But if you don’t consider that enough experience, I understand. That’s up to you.
