The November election has a lot of notable contests, and one involves a rematch of the 2022 Iowa 4th congressional district race, with incumbent Republican Randy Feenstra and Democrat Ryan Melton.
The 4th District covers more than 30 counties in Northwest and North Central Iowa, and has many more registered Republicans than Democrats.
Feenstra is a former state senator from Hull, who won his first term in 2020 in the district that had been held for 18 years by conservative firebrand Steve King.
Melton lives in Webster City, and lost to Feenstra two years ago, 67 percent to 30 percent.
For this episode of What’s The Frequency, we hear from both of the candidates in the Iowa 4th Congressional District contest.
Feenstra said he is “a true fiscal conservative,” who wants more tax cuts and also tight border enforcement.
“I stand with (Donald) Trump, and the policies that follow Trump,” Feenstra added.
Melton said he hews to the progressive playbook. He said the key things that will improve the lives of people in the 4th Congressional District include having fewer people living paycheck to paycheck and to reduce bankruptcies due to medical debt.
“We feel really good about what we are doing, the connections that we are making, and the truth to power that we are speaking. We are going to keep on keeping on,” Melton said.
Early voting is underway for three weeks in Iowa, and Election Day is November 5.
