Iowa's 4th congressional district

Well, so I did have to...

And plus, wasn't it s- also simultaneously with the 4th District debate at the same time? Or was that the, was that the Senate debate? I, I lose track, but there were actually two debates broadcast at the same time this week, and so I did have to split my time going back and forth.

So anyway-

Well-

From the Jethro's Barbecue Studio, I'm Justin Brady.

Iowa's 4th District is pretty red.

I think we'd all agree with that.

And maybe someone can disrupt that red and turn it into a blue ocean.

We need to have purpose.

So human factors continue to be a primary factor in any decision that we should make moving forward with the regulation of AI.

Dave Dawson, running for Congress in Iowa's 4th District.

If people like what you're saying, they like what they hear, how do they reach out to you? How do they learn more information about your campaign?

I think that they would see that there is a lot of hostility and arguing on both sides.

The two candidates running for Congress in Iowa's 4th District, which includes KHOI's listening area, held their first debate last Wednesday.

And this one was much more civil.

Of course, it's easier to be civil when your race isn't that competitive.

and so on.

How important is a debate in a race like this one, Laura, which is not necessarily perceived as competitive like Iowa's other U.S. House races?

The 4th District is overwhelmingly Republican, but both parties still want to get good turnout there.

It's essential for Republicans to have good turnout.

Lane also held a campaign rally event in Polk County last night.

In the 4th District, the candidates seeking to replace Republican Randy Feenstra faced off last night in Sioux City.

As IPR's Sheila Brummer reports, even though they disagree on several things, they also found some common ground.

The debate between Republican Chris McGowan and Democrat Dave Dawson wasn't politics as usual.

The Iowa Farmers Union announced its endorsements of the five Iowa Democrats running for Congress.

The Farmers Union said it had endorsed Josh Turek for the U.S. Senate and Christina Bohannon in Iowa's 1st District, Lindsay James, Iowa 2, Sarah Trone Garriott, Iowa 3, and Dave Dawson, Iowa 4, for the U.S. House.

This election is too important to sit on the sidelines.

Farmers are facing unprecedented challenges, from unfair trade policies and corporate consolidation to threats to water quality and rural health care, Iowa Farmers Union President Aaron Layman said in a press release.

Vance also endorsed McGowan, calling him exactly the kind of Republican we need in Washington.

McGowan, the Republican nominee for Iowa's 4th District, is running against Democrat Dave Dawson for a seat being vacated by Republican Representative Randy Feenstrom.

McGowan urged supporters not to pay attention to the polls, pointing to the 2024 presidential election as an example.

He said a Des Moines Register poll released the weekend before Election Day showed Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump by three percentage points, when Trump carried Iowa by more than 13.
