Iowa GOP Congressional Challengers Gain National Recognition

Evidence of increasing vulnerability for Braley, Boswell and Loebsack 

DES MOINES – Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Matt Strawn today said that all three of Iowa’s Congressional Democrats are becoming increasingly vulnerable this November. This comes as the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) named Ben Lange, Dr. Miller-Meeks and Brad Zaun “On the Radar.”

By achieving “On the Radar” status in the Young Guns program, Lange, Miller-Meeks and Zaun have proven they’re disciplined fundraisers and campaigners. They’re working their way to “Young Guns” status through the program dedicated to electing open-seat and challenger candidates.  

Iowa GOP Chairman Matt Strawn said, “Iowans have seen Bruce Braley, Dave Loebsack and Leonard Boswell vote time after time with Nancy Pelosi on the government takeover of our health care, cap and trade and other job-killing liberal legislation. Our Republican candidates are putting in long hours, sharing their principled solutions with Iowa voters. Come November, voters will send Iowa’s incumbent Democrats into retirement.”
