Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 — YEA Nicholas Martin Kowalski was born March 16, 1976, in Fargo, North Dakota. He was fascinated from childhood by the vastness of North Dakota, its grain fields of the east and Indian reservations of the north. He graduated from the University of North Dakota with a degree in Supply Chain Engineering and worked for a logistics company. In 2008, he defeated his Republican opponent by a narrow margin for a State Senate seat. Nick was known in the local community as a compassionate and religious yet entrepreneurial businessman. One of his projects was the opening of a city charity to help stray animals. Nick's major accomplishment in the state senate was to increase penalties for drunk driving. During the oil boom of 2008, Nick promoted bills ensuring rural rental assistance, need-based preschool and infrastructure funding. He authored an amendment that increased funding for local road service by 3 million a year. Nick won the primary for the U.S. Senate seat of outgoing Senator Kent Conrad (D) in 2012. He ran as a moderate Democrat, emphasizing his Christian faith. He was one of the few pro-life Democrats (as a member of DFLA) who oppose abortion, the death penalty, and promote gun control. However, Nick promised voters that he would not pass any bill restricting guns at the federal level. He won narrowly thanks to rural and working-class workers in a state that Romney and, later, McConey won. Nick is married to Elizabeth and has a teenage son named Rufus and a young daughter named Magdalene.
