Former Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., who is considering a possible 2016 presidential run, discussed his memoir “I Heard My Country Calling” last evening at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College near Manchester.

Webb has increased his visibility of late, making a trip to Iowa and giving a high-profile speech at the National Press Club in Washington.

In his remarks at the National Press Club, Webb stressed economic fairness and what he termed the nation’s rudderless foreign policy.

On Sunday, Webb tweeted a link to a news story about Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen’s concerns regarding the nation’s growing income equality. Wrote Webb: “I’ve been warning about this for more than 8 years.”

Webb, a highly decorated Vietnam veteran and a former assistant secretary of defense and secretary of the Navy, represented Virginia in the U.S. Senate from 2007 to 2013, declining to run for a second term.

During an August trip to Iowa, Webb stumped for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Bruce Braley and met with military veterans.

In other 2016 news, a Virginia-born presidential hopeful returns to Iowa this week. Winchester-born Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who won the 2012 Iowa Republican caucuses, will campaign in four Iowa cities Wednesday and Thursday.
