COP on the Hill:

Stories from the week of July 14, 2017

Big Table – Yes: Grover’s meeting had two US Senators this week. Senator Roberts (R-KS) started his presentation by commenting on my hat, then asked about my horse, thanked me for my police service and we had a ‘private’ dialog for 45 seconds. Later we had a great chat in the hallway on marijuana and the 10th Amendment.

Senator Strange (R-AL – took Sessions place) and I had a solid chat in the hallway after his presentation. Probably my place at the table helped to corral a bit of their time.

How’s it goin’ cowboy?: asked the voice behind me in the Longworth café. I turned to see Cman Labrador (R-ID)…we had a good chat, as I asked him to convince fellow Idaho Cman Simpson to vote 10th. It was about my third chat with him.
Personal Privilege – it was a thrill to have a Congressman make contact with me from out of the blue. This was a first in 10 years.
