U.S. Senator

The Resume

    (July 1, 1970- )
    Born in Red Oak, Iowa
    Republican elected as senator representing Iowa
    Former member of the Iowa State Senate representing the 12th district

Why she might be annoying:

    She is an ardent supporter of limited government.
    However, she is against same-sex marriage, abortion, and women reproductive rights.
    She said that while there were no weapons of mass destruction upon the invasion of Iraq, she believed that there was legitimate reasons that the country had such weapons in the past.
    She earned both criticism and ridicule when she aired an advertisement comparing her experience castrating hogs to 'cutting pork in Congress.'
    She has been compared to fellow Tea Party darlings Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was valedictorian of her class upon graduating from high school.
    She earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Iowa State University and a Master of Public Administration degree from Columbus College.
    She was a member of the Iowa National Guard and served as a company commander during the Iraq War.
    She became the first woman in Iowa elected to Congress, the first such person to be elected on a statewide level, and the first female veteran to do so.
    If you love free market capitalism, gun rights and 'limited government', she's got your back.
