Martin O’Malley Supporting Iowa Endorser in Run for Student Senate

What goes around comes around. And for one Drake University student, that’s a good thing.

Kenia Calderon tweeted a video Wednesday of former presidential candidate Martin O’Malley endorsing Calderon as she runs for Equity and Inclusion Senator at Drake University.

“Hello, this is Martin O’Malley, encouraging you to vote for my friend Kenia for Equity and Inclusion Senator at Drake. #VoteKenia,” the Democrat said.


Calderon was a DREAMer (Maryland Dream Act) who had endorsed O'Malley on a blog in the Huffington Post:

It's a good thing when being a political activist in a candidate's campaign leads to running for office.
