Statewide Iowa (RI) — Adam Steen, one of five Republicans running for governor, says rival Randy Feenstra’s fundraising haul and new slate of campaign ads aren’t a concern.
Steen says Rob Sand, the Democrat who’s running for governor, will be a formidable opponent, and Steen suggests the best contrast for Republicans is someone from Iowa’s evangelical movement.
A large group of Steen’s supporters crowded into a statehouse office yesterday to watch Steen file the paperwork required to get his name printed on the Iowa Republican Party’s Primary ballot.
Steen, a businessman, was a state agency director for five years before he launched his campaign for governor in August. He is also a certified Assemblies of God minister, one of three pastors in the GOP race for governor.
To win the primary, a candidate must win 35 percent of the vote on June 2nd, or the GOP nominee for governor will be chosen at the state party convention.
Williamsburg pastor Brad Sherman and Congressman Feenstra have also filed their paperwork for the Primary ballot. The two other candidates who’ve been campaigning are Zach Lahn, a farmer and businessman from Belle Plaine, and State Representative Eddie Andrews, a pastor from Johnston.
