Congressman Steve King proves again that he is the “consistent conservative that has never let the voters of the 4^th District down” in tonight’s 4^th District Congressional Republican Primary Campaign Forum. The debate, the first to be held between the candidates vying to become the Republican nominee for the 4^th District’s Congressional seat, was held over Zoom and was broadcast live on KDSN Radio. The forum featured a panel composed of representatives of KDSN Radio, the Crawford County Republican Women, and the Crawford County Republican Party Central Committee. The debate was moderated by J.C. Van Ginkel, co-owner of KDSN radio.

“I have said all along that I welcome the opportunity to debate my opponents. None of them have the depth of knowledge or experience on the critical issues that challenge us in the 4^th District,” said King. “Further, these debates revealed something else that I have been saying: there is no legitimate rationale for my opponents’ campaigns except a desire for self-promotion. They don’t take issue with my conservative voting record or the success I have had getting projects like four-lane Highway 20 completed in the district. They simply saw an opportunity to side with the lying New York Times to use Fake News against me in a cynical attempt to try to advance their own political careers.”

“Anyone who watched or listened to the debate realized how much I continue to appreciate the honor to represent 4^th District Iowans who know I do battle for our common values.,” King added. “That is one reason I emerged as the clear choice for 4^th District voters who were reminded that I have always run to the sound of the guns and never let them down.”

All 5 of the candidates in the 4^th District Republican Primary were invited to participate, and all 5 candidates did take part in tonight’s event.

The only publicly available polling shows that Congressman King maintains an overwhelming lead in the 4^th District Primary field. A poll released by the King Campaign showed Congressman King earning the support of 59% of respondents, while his nearest competitor garnered only 15% support.
