Let's learn a little bit more about you beyond your senator's role. What was your first job? Kentucky Fried Chicken. So fast food job. What was your favorite teacher or class in high school? I particularly liked math and I had a geometry teacher, Mr. Loeker, who was very influential. In my senior year, I took a class on political science. Partly that class made me think about the potential of maybe someday serving in elective office. What's a favorite comfort food or guilty pleasure when the calories don't count? I would say cheese, although I would say that's not just a comfort food. I enjoy cheese all the time, but there are certain things like cheese curds that I just love. Great E or deep fried. Squeaky. How many of your friends, neighbors and colleagues regularly jump into a lake that's still got ice on it? None.
