Let's have some fun this afternoon. Here are some facts about me that I bet you didn't know, including what I like to do when I'm rarely not campaigning for Congress.

If you're able to chip in to support an everyday hardworking Yooper running for Congress, I would greatly appreciate your support. Friends, thank you.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately.

What do you miss most when on the campaign trail?

My home, my family, and my friends

What is your favorite evening?

Small gatherings with friends discussing  issues and listening to their stories

Where is your favorite place to be?

Home.

How do you keep your sanity?

Faith and hope.

Why are you running for Congress?

For my grandchildren.

What do you do for exercise?

I do a lot of "enjoyable physical activities," skiing and snowshoeing in the winter and hiking and biking in the summer. I also love the elliptical, where I can double-dip and read at the same time.

What is one of your personal struggles?

Many Americans struggle with their weight, as do I. 

Favorite music?

I like music that gives me hope and tells a story. I enjoy many genres, but folk and soft rock are among the ones I listen to the most. I also like country, pop, jazz, and worship. James Taylor is my favorite artist.

Favorite color

Baby blue.

Favorite Holiday?

Christmas.

What is a character trait people underestimate? 

Curiosity.

What would be a perfect summer day off?

Coffee, sitting outside on the porch in the morning, followed by reading and learning. Then golf with friends followed by pickleball and a bike ride – the trifecta of enjoyable activity.  Cocktails and a pontoon ride. Dinner followed by a campfire

What time do you get up?

It varies, but around 5-6 am. 

Favorite food?

Do I really have to answer? Grilled hamburgers

Favorite vegetable?

Brussel sprouts

Fruit?

Apple

Favorite Drink?

Sparkling water. Red wine, IPA beer

Favorite type of movie?

I love dramas based on true stories with happy endings. 

What is your favorite movie, and why?

For me, "The Shawshank Redemption" stands out. It tells a strong moral story about the power of hope, friendship, perseverance, and the human spirit to overcome even the most challenging circumstances. The movie portrays how to maintain dignity, integrity, and hope for the future.

"What About Bob" is funny.

Books?

I like non-fiction. The last two books I read were on world history and another on world religions. Right now, "Renegades: Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen and Barack Obama is on my coffee table.

How much time do you spend learning or reading each day?

Three or four hours.

How long have you been married?

42 years on May 15, 2024

What do you tell patients the most important thing they can do to stay healthy?

Have a sense of purpose, smile, laugh and cry, eat healthy, sleep well, don't smoke, commit to enjoyable physical activities, and be part of your community.

I heard you have many cousins.

Thirty six on my Dad's side of the family. My mom was essentially an orphan with an unfortunate story, so I never knew that side of the family.

Tell me about your friends.

One of my diplomatic friends shared this with me. We all have several types of friends.

• Just Friends: friends I enjoy spending time with but not necessarily deeply involved in my life 
• Rust Friends: friends for many, many years.
• Must Friends: These friends are indispensable in my life, those you can't imagine living without. 

All of them are important to me. And, Friends, so are you. If you can contribute today so we can continue our non-stop momentum running for Congress, I would be very grateful.

Have a great Saturday!

Yours,

-Bob
