Ames, Iowa (RI) — There are now four Republicans campaigning for Iowa’s fourth district congressional seat. Ryan Rhodes of Ames worked for President Trump during Trump’s first administration and served as CEO of the conservative social media platform Parler for the past year. Rhodes says he’s committed to conservative values, is strongly pro-life, and plans to run on a “Make America Iowa” platform.
Rhodes says America’s political system is broken and he’ll ask voters to send him to D.C. to drain and set fire to the swamp.
The other Republicans who’ve announced campaigns in the fourth congressional district are Siouxland Chamber of Commerce president Chris McGowan of the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce, Iowa House Majority Leader Matt Windschitl of Missouri Valley, and Kyle Larson, a farmer from Humboldt. Republican Congressman Randy Feenstra is pursuing a run for Governor next year. Democrats Stephanie Steiner of Sutherland and Ashley WolfTornabane from Storm Lake recently launched campaigns in the 4th district. Both are stay-at-home moms.
