A Democratic candidate for US Senate in Iowa was in Oskaloosa Saturday (2/26).  Admiral Michael Franken’s visit was one of several he made in southeast Iowa over the weekend.  Franken talks about what he wants to accomplish in the Senate.

“To change the quality of life in the state of Iowa from where it is today to something that is in the future at the 99th percentile of high school achievement, for instance.  The place where high technology, at least considers to move to.”

Franken says he also wants to attract jobs that will allow younger Iowans to stay in the state, rather than move to larger cities.  Franken is running for the Democratic nomination to challenge Senator Chuck Grassley in the November election.
