The hard way, he earned it! Twenty years of sacrificing, running, winning and serving. The guy is a work horse. By the way, one day my husband was in the Capitol and walked by McClintock's office. McClintock said, "Come on in and let's talk" and they did! Just like that. My husband can't say enough good things about McClintock - not just because of that but because of the guy's record. Go, McClintock!!
