The notion that only the rich can ascend to Public Office is troubling.

I Know Marshall Adame

I met Marshall Adame several years ago while working in Iraq / Kuwait. At that time he was the he was the CPA Basra International Airport Manager in Southern Iraq. I was working for a Defense Contracting firm that supplied Arabic Linguist to Coalition Forces. While at the time our encounter was brief, I found him to be very engaging and personable, with a real regard for the people of Iraq. He seemed to know every Iraqi in the Airport terminal and they all know him. As with me at the time, he showed an interest in our soldiers and marines who would often plow through his area, usually without notification. This was one of those occasions. I also found him to be a deeply caring man when it came to our cause in Iraq. He called it a rescue effort.
