Sen. Amy Klobuchar says she wants to inspire 'normal people' to run for office

WASHINGTON – Even at her own wedding, Minnesota U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar writes in her new book, she weathered bromides about one day running for president.

In “The Senator Next Door,” an autobiography Klobuchar penned without a ghost writer, she writes about her trajectory from a middle-class Plymouth upbringing to the U.S. Senate, with stops along the way at Yale University and the Hennepin County attorney’s office.

Klobuchar’s autobiography, which hits bookstores next week, is at times unflattering about her own family.
