The 1964 Des Moines bus idea sparked Nagle’s drive to lead and stay in the political arena. By 1987 he joined Congress after a stint as Iowa Democratic Party chair and a reputation for aggressive, hard charging leadership. His approach stirred both critics and supporters amid reapportionment shifts.
Democratic congressman Dave Nagle born April 15 1943 in Grinnell built coalitions across farm groups to back farm credit reform and the Freedom Support Act. He helped pass a five year highway bill funding the Avenue of the Saints and faced tough re election with Jim Nussle while his wife Diane notes the personal toll of politics.
Glen Brown of Bethel Minnesota finished second with a 710 pound pumpkin at Anamosa in the Ryan Norlin Pumpkin Weigh-off. Joel Holland of Washington state won the world record with an 827 pound pumpkin. Brown plans to display his pumpkin and sell seeds while organizers note many growers from 30 countries participated.
Describing himself as a relentless reformer, Nussle lobs critique at House banking practices. He and six GOP freshmen form the Gang of Seven calling for full disclosure of check bouncers. The effort boosted his profile as House leadership contends with the bank controversy while his background shows a Des Moines birth, Chicago upbringing, Luther College education, and Drake Law School degree.
Republican Jim Nussle, born 1960 in Des Moines, became a freshman Iowa congressman known for a no compromises stance on spending and reform. He backed budget strictures, earned varied respect from peers like Tom Tauke yet drew criticism from Neal Smith for clashes over agriculture funding and institutional reform.
