This the beauty of America. You can be the son of a drug dealer. Reject his evil ways and end up a Senator by beating a 2nd rate newscaster that never got promoted to a national news desk.
Behold: @RubenGallego and his Cartel Daddy. One trafficked drugs. The other traffics bullshit. Aren't genetics fascinating?

Senator Gallego knows what it means to work to provide for your family—he’s lived it. Folks at the Marshalltown meat packing plant put in long hours to achieve the American Dream. That’s why Ruben stopped by to visit. Because he wants them to know he’s fighting for them.

New op-ed from @RubenGallego in the @DMRegister: He’s calling out a rigged GOP budget that hikes costs, slashes care, & rewards billionaires. He’s not backing down. He’s fighting for working people.
