Discussion: Iowa Congressional District #5

posted on September 4, 2008 at 6:16 PM

The Iowa Journal profiles Iowa's 5th Congressional District and looks towards the issues that will color voter's decisions during the election campaign of 2008.

This first profile examines the 5th district, the state’s largest geographically, covering 32 counties along Iowa’s western-most border.

With only two population centers, Sioux City and Council Bluffs, the district is primarily rural. The district is currently represented by Steve King (R-Kiron). His opponent in this year’s election is Rob Hubler.

The Journal will find out more about the district from reporters Art Cullen from the Storm Lake Times, and Mike Peterson, news director at KMA Radio.
