At only 33 years old, John Waltz is a veteran of two wars — serving in the Navy for operations in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Upon returning home to Kentucky and suffering seizures, strokes and post-traumatic stress disorder at least in part attributable to an unapproved anthrax vaccine he took overseas, Waltz contacted his congressman, incumbent Rep. Geoff Davis (R-Ky.).
Angered by what Waltz calls a “brush off” from his hometown 4th Congressional
District representative, he decided to escalate matters – and began running against Davis as a Democrat.
