COUNCIL BLUFFS -- The arrival of warmer weather has the political season heating up.

That's how one congressional candidate described his campaign.

“I've been putting together a national team,” Matt Campbell told Democrats in Council Bluffs over the weekend.

Campbell, who is seeking to unseat Republican Steve King in Iowa's 5th Congressional District, said he has hired a political consulting firm and a research firm from Washington to help his campaign. Campbell, a tax attorney from Manning, plans to open a campaign office in Sioux City.

Appearing before members of the Democrat Central Committee, Campbell said the incumbent is “an extremist” and criticized King for, among other things, opposing efforts to crack down on wealthy tax evaders.

“Regular working people who pay taxes will have to pay more,” he said.

2. Excellent
Has Mr. Campbell gotten on the Act Blue list? A little money from across the nation might be a tonic for his campaign coffers.
