Son of Slain Sikh Temple Leader to Challenge Paul Ryan in 2014

Amardeep Kaleka knows he’s the underdog.

A new face hasn’t been elected to represent Wisconsin’s 1st congressional district since Paul Ryan was elected in 1998, and the seat hasn’t been held by a Democrat since the early days of the Clinton administration.

But Kaleka is ready to see that change. The 35-year-old filmmaker filed paperwork Wednesday to form an exploratory congressional committee. He’ll decide over the course of the next 30 days whether he’ll officially declare his candidacy under the Democratic Party.

“It’s David and Goliath,” Kaleka said in an interview with MSNBC.com. “This is the epitome of what the national field should look like.”

2. It's Paul Ryan's 25th year high school reunion this weekend.

I wonder if he'll attend considering how he almost destroyed the economy. He's not a popular as he thinks he is, especially in his own district.

I hope Arardeep Kaleka can make a go of it.
