Iowa Representative Jeff Shipley – Ep127
from Socially Awkward with Evan Wecksell
Jeff Shipley is a state representative from Iowa, and somehow he’s Evan’s Facebook friend. Jeff discusses his nihilistic political origins, his experience as a stand-up comedian, selling solar panels and sauerkraut before holding office, and an update on Iowa in the era of Covid. Jeff then goes into how he beat out Phil Miller for office by a mere handful of votes, his learning curve as an elected official and what his rapport is with Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds. Plus, how he was introduced to the medical freedom movement, dealing with internet trolls, and selling Americans on why Iowa is the place to be.
