Northwest Iowa (RI) – A Republican from Humboldt has announced he’s running for Iowa’s fourth district seat in the U.S. House.
Thirty-two-year-old Kyle Larsen is a third generation farmer making his first run for public office. Larsen, who also works as a land appraiser, said in a news release that he’s running because the rural way of life is being threatened by Washington elites and he said career politicians who are focused on the next election rather than what’s best for the country. Larsen said he would focus attention on the Farm Bill, trade, eliminating harmful death and estate taxes and combatting ill-informed activists and social media influencers.
Larsen earned an animal science degree from Iowa State University and has served as president of the Humboldt County Farm Bureau board.
Two other Republicans have announced they’re running for their party’s nomination in the fourth congressional district. Matt Windschitl of Missouri Valley is Majority Leader in the Iowa House. Chris McGowan is president of the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce. The district is currently represented by Republican Randy Feenstra, who has formed an exploratory committee for a campaign for governor.
