Iowa’s Rod Blum ran in a district that leans Democrat, proudly aligning himself with Iowa’s Steve King.
One of Blum’s first vote was against Speaker Boehner.
Blum could have played safe and voted RINO in his lean-Democrat district, but has remained an anti-establishment conservative.
He has ignored the Stalinist Des Moines Register (like Joni Ernst has), and emphasized his support of Trump.
He’s too old for leadership, but he is a great, patriotic American when he could take an easier path.
That’s great - I hope he will be rewarded with re-election.
