Biden Calls Iowa State Rep.-Elect

Asked why the VP called Brian Meyer said "Well it is Iowa"

WASHINGTON—Recently elected state representatives don't usually get calls from Vice President Joe Biden. That wasn't the case with Iowa State Rep.-elect Brian Meyer (D-Des Moines), who was watching the World Series at Applebee's Wednesday when Biden called.

"I was obviously surprised, and I didn't think anyone was paying attention to a little special election in the middle of Iowa. It was a pleasant surprise to hear from the vice president," he said in a brief interview with The Huffington Post.
