In past years, he ran his races quietly and mildly, with ads that showed him standing in a wheatfield and talking about his homesteader roots, or walking the Capitol corridors with his beloved Belgian shepherd Alice, who used to go to work with him. He is, after all, a man who began his congressional career three decades ago by holding a reception for the man he defeated.
