Martin O'Malley: Up Close and Candid With the Sioux City Journal Editorial Board (Video)

O’Malley’s stop at the Journal offices Friday came amidst a current tour in Iowa...

“I’m not in a very different place than many other challengers who we’ve never heard of until caucus night,” said O’Malley. “In (the Democratic Party), especially, there is a gravitational pull towards the new leader -- the candidate who’s speaking to where our country is going rather than to where our country has been.”

O’Malley said he differs greatly from Clinton and Sanders.

Pointing to his state of Maryland, he noted how he passed comprehensive gun control legislation and a marriage equality bill as well as a bill that will incrementally increase the minimum hourly wage every few years.

“Sen. Sanders and Secretary Clinton both have 40 years of experience in Washington, but neither of them can really point to getting much done. I, on the other hand, have been an executive. I’ve gotten things done,” O’Malley said.
