Jamie Kiel in his own words:
James Kiel’s website states he will “never participate in embarrassing behavior”, and then does not describe what he considers to be embarrassing behavior. One line before he states this, he says he believes marriage is between one man and one woman. I think that’s pretty embarrassing. You can believe that all you want, but it shouldn’t have anything to do with how you legislate.
Jamie Kiel in the bills he’s sponsored:
This guy clearly believes in small government, which I’m not opposed to by itself, but the answer to many of our current problems is not letting rural hospitals form monopolies in their areas or making it easier for not just the Trump administration, but literally anyone who fills out an application and pays a fee to acquire 10 years worth of voter data.
His potential successor:
Jamie Kiel is currently running unopposed in his district.
