New York Times:

NEW YORK — An Afghanistan war veteran, former Missouri state official and rising star in the Democratic Party has a book deal.

Jason Kander's "Outside the Wire: Ten Lessons I've Learned in Everyday Courage" is coming out Aug. 7, the book publisher Twelve told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "Outside the Wire" will combine Kander's memories of serving overseas with his take on current politics. Twelve is an imprint of Hachette Book Group.

Kander, who turns 37 next month, was Missouri's secretary of state from 2013-17 and has often been cited as a future presidential candidate. After narrowly failing to unseat incumbent Sen. Roy Blunt in 2016, he founded the anti-gerrymandering organization Let America Vote. He also hosts the podcast Majority 54.

1. Kander is my homie and I've read the same speculation

about his prospects of landing on the Presidential ticket in 2020 or 2024. He's been quite busy raising his profile by doing a series of podcasts across the country...

Here's a link to a series of his podcasts: https://crooked.com/podcast-series/majority-54/

2. It will be interesting to see just where he

winds up with 2020 not in the distant future. He is young and seems to be a good possible choice.
