Republican Candidate for Congress, Kyle Larsen, is suspending his campaign, effective today. He will shift his political involvement away from being a full-time candidate, and will instead provide valuable insight on ag issues to the Chris McGowan team.

“We got in the race on July 8th after much planning and prayer because our ag economy needs a fighter. Rural Iowa is struggling and whoever represents Iowa’s 4th Congressional District has to understand that. Over the last several months it has become clear that mounting a campaign for this district requires far more funds and time away from family than I can spare. When I entered this campaign, it was to give Iowa agriculture a voice. I still plan to work on state and federal policy, just no longer as a candidate for this seat.”

Kyle will remain involved in local, state, and federal politics, he currently serves as Humboldt County Farm Bureau voting delegate. He will be advising the Chris McGowan team for Congress and the State Legislature to share his important perspective regarding family farms, rural Iowa, and why we need a robust Farm Bill.

 “As the only candidates that are married with kids in Iowa, Chris McGowan and I share the same values on family. His dedication to his wife and children shows me he will be loyal to the families of Iowa. Chris shares the same passion for growing our manufacturing economy, ag economy, and local main street. This allows family farms to prosper and for Iowa families to grow with confidence.”
