A handful of forums featuring Iowa candidates seeking federal office are being held this month, but there will be no debate in Iowa’s fourth congressional district.

Republican Steve King is on the ballot, seeking an eighth term in the U.S. House representing northwest and north central Iowa. King DID debate his Democratic opponents in 2012 and 2014, but not this year.

 

Kim Weaver of Sheldon is the Democrat challenging King in 2016. Weaver says a lack of debates “is a problem” because she’d like to challenge some of King’s votes.

 

Weaver is making her first run for an elected office.
