Davenport, IA- There is no statewide race in the June Primary Elections, but there are primaries in three of Iowa's four congressional districts. Radio Iowa reports that in the first district, Davenport businessman David Pautsch, who has never run for office before, is challenging Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks. "I'm not a politician. I'm a statesman. I don't need to be doing this. I'm 70 years old," Pautsch says. ".We have to restore God to government. You can't have good government without God. You can have government without God, but it won't be good because you need God in the government to give people a sense of right and wrong." Pautsch says he decided to run because of Miller-Meeks' voting record. "Voting for everything from the FISA bill, so the government can spy on us, to certifying the presidential election of 2020," Pautsch says. ".It's just intolerable." Miller-Meeks, and the rest
Three of Iowa's four congressional seats which Democrats held as recently as 2020 are still winnable, Iowa Democrats say, but the party doesn’t have candidates for two of them thus far.
