When P.J. Sesker-Green met Gov. Bill Richardson two months ago at the Iowa State Fair she knew that he was the candidate for her.
At the Johnson County BBQ in Iowa City, she introduced the candidate to the hot and humid crowd. Afterwards, she told the Iowa Independent that Bill Richardson has the experience to, “turn this country around and get people working together again.”
Sesker-Green works with Operation First Response supporting “wounded heroes and their families.” Her nephew, Sgt. Daniel Sesker, was killed by an IED in Iraq.

P.J. Sesker-Green said he was the only candidate who promised her that he would bring the troops home.
