It’s not every day that a JET alum runs for Congress. The last time it happened (at least that I’m aware of) was when JET alum Rob Cornilles<\/strong> ran for Congress in Oregon in 2012<\/a>. And before that when David Boling<\/strong> ran for Congress in Arkansas in 2010<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it’s exciting to share that JET alum Taylor Wettach<\/strong><\/a>, a 2013-14 JET originally from Muscatine, Iowa, has launched his campaign for Congress in Iowa<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a link to his campaign website: https:\/\/taylorwettachforcongress.com\/<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an article from LawFuel.com about Taylor leaving his law firm to run for office: https:\/\/www.lawfuel.com\/simpson-thacher-alumni-taylo-wettach\/<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And below is a cute video he posted that shares his “elevator pitch.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
