After eleven years in the Army, part of the 1% who serve this nation in uniform, Ken has committed his talent, his experience, and his dedication to serving what we now all know as the 99%. Not the 99% who don't wear the uniform, but the 99% who are finally raising their voices and being heard, the economically depressed and the socially disadvantaged.


The official language in Ken's Service Record reads
While assigned to Charlie Troop, SSG Aden has devoted over 1500 hours of his personal time into the foundation of two non profit organizations for homeless veterans in the states of Ohio and Arkansas. His willingness to get involved inside of these communities and champion the rights of the economically depressed and socially disadvantaged, has been noticed by the media as well as local and state elected officials. His outgoing personality and his willingness to serve should be a model for all to follow.

That's no ordinary soldier, and for that service to others Ken Aden was awarded the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal.

Ken Aden not only knows how to fight, he knows who to fight for.

Now that SSG Ken Aden is Mister Ken Aden, he addresses everyone with the deeply instilled courtesy that would make his grandfather who raised him proud, he has more than a special place in his heart for our nation's Seniors. Protecting Medicare and Social Security rank right up there with protecting veterans. He knows that what the citizens of Northwest Arkansas need are jobs. He thinks building wind turbines right there in the district would not only be a source of jobs, good jobs, but of sustainable, renewable energy.

Working himself for barely more than the minimum wage, he knows we need real jobs, with livable wages.

there's a interview that gives a more indepth look at our new Congressman from Arkansas

3. Thanks for the suggestion.

Our candidate is so exciting. I've worked for other candidates and there was always something that I would say, okay, well, I like all these other parts, so I'll accept this. But with Ken, every question I ask, the answer is what I want it to be! Not because he's pandering, but because it's what he believes! Woo Hoo a true progressive democrat who isn't afraid.

6. You're welcome

Here's hoping that raising his profile here brings in some campaign donations from outside his district.
