The Senator Next Door: A Memoir from the Heartland by Amy Klobuchar

3.0

Since she just announced she's running for President, and she's been my Senator for most of my adult life, I figured I should dust this off and learn more about her. It provides good background into her family life, working as Hennepin County Attorney, and her first term in the Senate, but it was published in 2015, so there's nothing about our current political climate under Trump. Basically, she isn't a liberal wavemaker, but she does get things done quietly through cooperation with anyone who shares a similar interest. She isn't someone who is flashy and in the news a lot as an obstructionist, and she highly dislikes the current way of governing based on urgency/emergency and not planning ahead.

As far as books go, it was fine, and I found it interesting, but not compelling. As far as candidates go....I'm curious to see what happens with the Dems, and she is probably one of the least polarizing candidates in the race so far.
