It’s time for new congressional leadership for southwest Iowa, according those who want to unseat the current Republican representative.
The three Democratic candidates for Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District stated their reasonings for that at Sunday’s fundraiser by the Pottawattamie County Democrats at Dixie Quicks in Council Bluffs.
Jim Mowrer, for one, said he has lots of support from labor.
“I’ve been endorsed by over 10 labor unions,” he told about 50 people at the event.
Desmund Adams said the current occupant, Rep. David Young, can be beaten.
“We can beat David Young by building coalitions,” he said. “We have to be in all 16 counties.”
Mike Sherzan emphasized his support for women’s rights and the underpaid.
“I’m in favor of raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. It should have been done a long time ago,” the former investment firm owner said. “I support equal pay for women.” For the full article click here
