MEET JACK KIMBLE:
CA-54'S HARD-WORKING
CONGRESSMAN
I grew up the youngest of two brothers in Rancho Podrido. Even though we were barely upper middle class at the time, it was a beautiful place to grow up and helped instill in me the values that have served me through later life. The name in Spanish means beautiful oasis, and it was given the name by California’s first settlers because of its lush, fertile fields and a curious odor from the wildflowers that grow in the area. I learned a love of sports from my mom's friend who I called Uncle Steve and on the playing fields of that small town is where my competitive nature was formed. I was quite a good baseball player and could have gone pro.
I attended high school at Our Lady of Perpetual Motion. I received a great education from the nuns and lay teachers at that fine Catholic school, but my competitive nature did get me in trouble and my parents decided I should spend a semester at The Faithful Hussar Military Academy in East Westdale. The discipline I learned there was in the traditional Belgian style, and it prepared me for college at Notre Dame and my professional life afterward.
Following graduating from Notre Dame where I just missed sumo cum laudie, I was going back and forth between a professional baseball career, medical school, or astronaut training when my dad reached out to me begging me to help him with the family business. I did what any good son would do and put my family first.
In 2006, I was one of 10 freshman Republicans elected to the House. Things were different then and the job was much harder. We worked sometimes 150 days a year and were expected to deliberate on all sorts of legislation. I am probably most known as being the Sponsor of Poe's Law and despite it's defeat, I have not given up on making these so-called satirical comedians disclose their identities. I was appointed as Republican Pledge Chairman in 2012 by John Boehner and despite numerous attempts at vicious lawfare by the Democrats, I have never had one of my indictments turn into a conviction.

I’m ready to take the fight to Washington. I know things haven’t worked out so great over the last couple of years, but I also know America believes in second chances. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and fight for the American people for 50 or 100 days—or however many it takes to get the job done. And now I’m asking you to say, “Meh, it could be worse,” and reelect me to Congress as the representative from California’s 54th District.
