“For years, Chelgren dispensed semi-free beer from his refrigerated straight truck — modified with taps built into the side — on RAGBRAI,” the paper wrote. “Back then, he was known not as Republican State Senate candidate Mark Chelgren but as ‘Chickenman.’”

The Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, or RAGBRAI, is an annual bicycle ride from the state’s western border to it’s eastern border. Chelgren would bedressed as a chicken or other costume.

“Chickenman — er, Chelgren — was the impresario. Wearing a kilt and wielding a beer-filled super soaker, he greeted random riders who were friendly (or cute) enough with free beer,” the paper wrote.

Chelgren barely won his Senate seat; it went to a recount.

In his months at the Iowa Legislature, he’s compared pre-school to Nazi indoctrination.
