“Are you sure you want to give a lawyer an hour?” U.S. Senate hopeful Jim Carlin, a Republican from Sioux City, joked about 10 minutes into his meeting with the Marshall County Pachyderm Herd at Legends American Grill on Friday.

Carlin, 63, a U.S. Army veteran, trial lawyer and former State Senator, is one of two candidates seeking the GOP nomination in the race to replace retiring Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and is widely considered the underdog against current U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa). Nonetheless, he used the aforementioned time to make his case, speaking for about a half hour before taking questions from the audience of about 25 and then sticking around to interact with attendees as the lunch hour wound down. Carlin explained that he is running in hopes of creating a better world for younger generations and credited President Donald Trump with saving Americans from “dancing in dumpsters.”

Carlin placed the blame on the Federal Reserve for the rising costs of housing as investors are purchasing more and more homes through interest free loans that were available during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also criticized the Affordable Care Act (ACA), better known as “Obamacare,” for creating a monopoly that has ultimately resulted in increased insurance premiums. Even as he highlighted his own free market capitalist bona fides, Carlin criticized what he called “a rigged game” and worried that his grandson would struggle to afford college, buy a home and start a family of his own.
