Congressman King Announces Ames Office
If the election for the 4th District were held today, who would you vote for? King, Vilsack or neither.
Iowa Congressman Steve King, R-Kiron, who called Ames in the race for Iowa's new 4th District, announced Thursday plans to open a campaign headquarters on Lincoln Way.
Ames is one of a handful of towns that King is not currently representing in the 5th District but would represent if elected to Iowa's new 4th Congressional District. He faces Ames Democrat Christie Vilsack who already has an Ames campaign headquarters as does who hopes to assist in King's defeat.
“With the opening of this office in Ames, we’re establishing a command center to ensure we're effectively coordinating our work and outreach in the 4th District,” King said in a prepared statement.
