Iraq War Veteran Democrat Nathan Sage, Challenges WEAK Current REPUBLICAN Leadership
A military veteran in Indianola-- who was deployed to Iraq three times, served in both the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Army, and said that he knows family financial struggles after growing up in a trailer in Mason City -- officially launched his U.S. senate campaign Wednesday for the seat held by Republican Joni Ernst.
Nathan Sage, executive director for the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce, released this campaign video where he said that he had not envisioned getting into politics but thinks the “working class” need representation.
Yesterday, I was joined by the candidate Nathan Sage, and we spoke about his candidacy for U.S. Senate & what vision he wants to bring to the chamber.
