Ret. Admiral Michael Franken running as pragmatic progressive for U.S. Senate

CEDAR RAPIDS — Michael Franken introduces himself as a principled, pragmatic, progressive Democrat who is running for the U.S. Senate to remove “Trump-era Republicans” from office.“I think (Senate Majority Leader) Mitch McConnell and Sen. Joni Ernst are exemplars of what is fundamentally wrong in Washington,” Franken said. “Both sides have some to blame on this, but those two in particular.”Franken, 61, a retired three-star admiral who grew up on a rural northwest Iowa farm, is the most recent entrant in the five-way race for the 2020 Democratic Senate nomination.
