Democratic Candidate for Iowa's 4th District

[pstans]

Over the weekend, I heard of a candidate that will probably be running in Iowa's 4th district against Tom Latham. His name is Kurt Meyer and I was told that he is a solid candidate.

Meyer lives in Mitchell County and is a graduate of Luther College. He worked on Mike Blouin's campaign in 1976 and was finance chair of John Culver's Senate campaign in 1980. He then started a political consulting firm based in Minneapolis and has done fundraising.

Another declared candidate is William Meyers. I don't know much about Meyers except that he is a Marine Corps Veteran from Humboldt.

1. found this about Latham

I was looking for Jane Norman's comments from Sunday and ended up with this which is similar to what I was looking for:


"Finally, it’s worth noting one bit of trivia. The most conservative congressman from Iowa is not Steve King but rather Tom Latham. While King may be nuts, he at least is an independent thinker. Latham accumulated a more conservative record by being a straight party-line, pro-corporate Republican hack. It allows Latham the benefit of a seat on the Appropriations Committee for the small cost of independent thought and free will. One hopes that Selden Spencer will use this information to his advantage for his second bid for the 4th District."

2. William Meyers

I don't know much about Kurt Meyer, but I do know William
Meyers. He really has the appeal that a democrat contending in
this district needs. Here is his link if you'd like to check
him out

I think he can really bring out the most voters and after all,
isn't that what it is all about? The more people that vote,
the more Dem's that win! Lets bring keep the house a
democratic one!
