IOWA 4TH DISTRICT CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE CHRIS MCGOWAN HAS PICKED UP ANOTHER MAJOR ENDORSEMENT FOR HIS CAMPAIGN.
U.S. HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER STEVE SCALISE HAS ENDORSED MCGOWAN STATING THAT “HE IS A VETERAN AND BUSINESS LEADER WHO UNDERSTANDS IOWA’S FARMERS, WORKERS, AND FAMILIES; AND WILL BE A STRONG AMERICA FIRST ADVOCATE IN CONGRESS.”
SCALISE ADDED THAT MCGOWAN IS AN ALL-STAR RECRUIT FOR OUR REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE, A STRONG ALLY FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP, AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, A DEDICATED ADVOCATE FOR IOWA COMMUNITIES.
SCALISE HAS SERVED AS HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER SINCE 2023 AND HAS BEEN A LOUISIANA CONGRESSMAN SINCE 2008.
ONE OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS IN IOWA’S 4TH DISTRICT HAS DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE.
DOUGLAS JENSEN ANNOUNCED MONDAY THAT HE IS WITHDRAWING DUE TO URGENT FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES.
JENSEN RELEASED A STATEMENT THAT HIS DECISION “COMES DOWN TO FAMILY.”
HE SAYS HIS WIFE, LT. COLONEL HEIDI JENSEN, HAS BEEN SERVING HALFWAY ACROSS THE COUNTY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS ALREADY, AND THEY RECENTLY LEARNED SHE WILL BE SENT OVERSEAS AGAIN.
WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AT HOME, THEY NEED A CONSTANT PARENT PRESENCE DURING THESE FORMATIVE YEARS.”
JENSEN, A DECORATED COMBAT VETERAN HIMSELF, AND ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY SPOUSE, SAYS THE NEW MILITARY ORDERS SHIFTED WHAT IS REALISTIC FOR HIS FAMILY.
HE EXPRESSED GRATITUDE TO SUPPORTERS.
