A state lawmaker who endorsed U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2015 is included in a batch of Iowans endorsing Joe Bidens presidential campaign.
Tim Kacena, who represents a portion of Sioux City in the Iowa House, is among the new endorsements announced Thursday by the Biden campaign.
Kacena endorsed Sanders in the 2016 caucuses.
I dont think we need something so far to the left that its going to be disruptive, Kacena said Friday. (Biden) would bring a sense of serenity to the country, and maybe even some sanity.
Kacena, a retired firefighter, also noted the International Association of Fire Fighters endorsement of Biden as part of his calculus, and that he sees Biden as the best candidate to get things done in the nations capital.
Kacena also cited concern of a looming financial crisis, and noted Bidens role as vice president during the federal governments response to the 2008 financial crisis.
I think we need some stability in there, and I think Vice President Biden would supply that, Kacena said.
