Pete and Helen McCloskey in Twisp, Washington
Former Peninsula Congressman Pete McCloskey and his wife, Helen,of Rumsey, Calif., pose beneath this funny sign in Twisp, Washington. (It’s a Mark Twain quote, I was remiss to add.)
McCloskey, a longtime Republican and one-time presidential candidate who started a group called the Revolt of the Elders, is now a Democrat. The Elders pushed for ethics reforms in Congress.
