Christie Vilsack Makes Steve King Challenge Official

http://www.rollcall.com/news/Christie-Vilsack-Makes-Steve-King-Challenge-Official-207373-1.html

Former Iowa first lady Christie Vilsack (D) plans to formally announce her bid against Rep. Steve King (R) Tuesday.

Vilsack opened an exploratory committee earlier this year to run for the newly redrawn 4th House district in northwest Iowa. She also began a district-wide listening tour.

Obviously, Vilsack liked what she heard. Democratic sources say she plans to officially unveil her campaign next week.

"As I consider running for Congress, I am inspired and humbled by the folks who take the time to share their support and their ideas of how we can build a campaign together that is true to the Iowa values we hold dear," Vilsack said Thursday in a statement touting her fundraising.

3. ummm.... yay?

Steve King is a lunatic crackhead, but surely there must be someone in the 4th district of Iowa who is NOT a Monsanto shill or puppet of the DLC. :shrug:
