Arnolds Park, Iowa — An Arnolds Park businessman is the fourth Republican to announce a challenge to 4th District Republican Congressman Steve King’s bid for a 10th term in the U.S. House.
Steve Reeder is a commercial real estate broker. He’s kicking off his campaign at an Okoboji ice cream shop called The Nutty Bar Stand. Reeder says his campaign theme is “working together.” In a news release, Reeder did not mention King, but emphasized the need to “restore trust and confidence” in congress. The 58-year-old Reeder is pledging to focus on rural revitalization and balancing the federal budget if he’s elected.
Reeder will face Congressman King in a Republican Primary here in Iowa’s 4th congressional district, along with State Senator Randy Feenstra, Woodbury County Supervisor Jeremy Taylor and former Irwin Mayor Bret Richards.
