A Chuck Hagel Republican

Last week, I was lucky enough to attend a book reading by Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel at the Cato Institute here in DC. Sen. Hagel was discussing his new book America: Our Next Chapter. Kinsey and I have been ardent supporters of Chuck Hagel's work in the Senate for quite some time now, so it was quite a treat to see him speak. And I've never heard a politician speak with such candor. He really just says what he truly believes, which doesn't seem like a big deal, but when you're talking about a politician, it's a huge deal. I put a link to his talk below. It's a little over an hour long, but well worth the listen.

I gotta be honest, I was a little nervous meeting him.


The cover of his book.

"For Wade and McKinsey- To my fellow Nebraskans, Chuck H."
