Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan cast the political left as “crazy” and “mean” while he hyped up his colleague, U.S. Rep. Zach Nunn, at a special meeting of Des Moines' Westside Conservative Club.
Jordan, a Republican from Ohio who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, was in Des Moines on Thursday, May 29, supporting Nunn.
Nunn is running for reelection to the 3rd Congressional District next year. And the race has begun in earnest as Democrats begin entering the race.
Democratic state Reps. Sarah Trone Garriott and Jennifer Konfrst have both announced their candidacies. And national Democrats have once again targeted the seat as a prime pickup opportunity.
“Thanks for getting off the sidelines and getting in the game,” Jordan told the group, which gathered at the Machine Shed Restaurant in Urbandale. “I learned a long time ago, good things in life don't just happen. You want to accomplish anything that matters … it takes hard work, it takes sacrifice, but most importantly, it takes a willingness to assume risk.”
