DescriptionFormer U.S. Attorney Matt Whitaker is taking steps to run for the U.S. Senate, saying he would vote only for legislation that’s constitutional and pattern himself after tea party favorite U.S. Sen. Rand Paul.

Whitaker said Iowans are looking for someone who can stand toe to toe with Democrat Bruce Braley, a congressman from Waterloo, who announced in February he’s seeking the Democratic nomination.

“I’m qualified to do that and I think I’m the person to do that,” Whitaker said today on WHO Newsradio. He said he’ll file paperwork this week with the Federal Election Commission.
