Ben Lange Blasts Bruce Braley at Rockwell Collins Visit

Ben Lange visited Rockwell Collins in Cedar Rapids yesterday and used the facility as a platform to criticize his opponent in Iowa's 1st congressional district, Democratic incumbent Bruce Braley.

Lange, a Republican, spoke about impacts from policies that Braley has supported and said he gets in the way of "job creators," according to the Gazette.

He said Rockwell officials told him that the cost of the national health care law will be passed on to employees. He additionally accused Braley of supporting a trade agreement that would have negative effects on Iowa jobs.

Braley's campaign manager told the Gazette that the accusations made by Lange were untrue, adding that the congressman has worked hard to keep jobs in Iowa.
