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.
