A former Iowa House Democrat is running the Fourth Congressional District seat. Dave Dawson is a lawyer from Lawton, who served two terms in the Iowa House. The 51-year-old Dawson says there’s momentum after Democrats won two special elections in the heavily Republican district and they need to focus on issues that matter to people like education funding, healthcare funding, and making sure we’re working to increase incomes and wages for Iowa workers.
According to Radio Iowa, Dawson served in the Iowa House from 2013 to 2017 but did not seek re-election. Two other Democrats are also in the race, in addition to four Republicans. Incumbent Congressman Randy Feenstra plans to make an announcement soon if he will run for governor.
