The Senator Next Door: A Memoir from the Heartland by Amy Klobuchar
5.0
I very much enjoyed reading this book. Amy is both humerus and real as she tells us her story of her life thus far. While there were probably too many name and places that didn’t necessarily need to be called out, as a Minnesota native, I enjoyed her walk down memory lane.
The thing I love most about Amy in this book is her warm confidence. She owns her decisions, even if that means sitting on a pillow or mistaking a bowl of thousand island dressing as soup on accident. While witty and will sometimes lay a quick jab, Amy also is intentional about building relationships and finding common ground amongst her peers.
The progress she’s made and the honesty about how difficult it is to get things done in the senate reinforce how ready she actual is to be president if she gets the candidacy. She’s walked the walk. She knows how the system does and doesn’t work and she’s not afraid to fight for what she believes is right.
