Admiral Michael Franken - Candidate U.S. Senate - Iowa

This marks the second time we've been able to interview Admiral Michael Franken as he attempts to become the next U.S. Senator from the State of Iowa. Here Franken speaks to his roots on an Iowa farm and working in a meat processing facility. How lessons learned in Rural Iowa became the bedrock of a life of military and public service. Along the way we'll talk policy and what the response to COVID19 should have been. This part one of a two part conversation.

Here, in part two of my interview with Admiral Michael Franken, we talk about several public policy issues from jobs to climate change, to agriculture to rural broadband access to roads, bridges and more. "This is about leadership, proven leadership." - Michael Franken. Here is his campaign website which speaks to what is right for...Iowa.
