Northwest Iowa Early next month the new U.S. Congress will convene, which will mark the end of an 18-year career in the House of Representatives for 4th District Congressman Steve King. King lost his bid for reelection in a five-way Republican primary race this past June.
As he approaches the end of his final term in Congress, King talked with KIWA and reflected upon some of his memories of the past eighteen years. He told us about how the first bill he introduced as a freshman congressman passed into law…..eventually.
(As above) “The very first bill I introduced as a freshman member of congress became law. It was in the Energy Users Act. It took about two years for it to thread its way through and be incorporated into another bill. But it laid the foundation for small ethanol producers and for biodiesel.”
