Iowa’s 1st Congressional District: Young Democrat takes aim at Freedom Caucus member
Iowa and politics go hand-in-hand, so it’s not a surprise that the race between Republican Rep. Rod Blum and Democratic State Rep. Abby Finkenauer for Iowa’s 1st Congressional District — which voted for Barack Obama twice, but Trump in 2016 — is gaining national attention.
Blum, a former software company entrepreneur, is a two-term congressman and a member of the House Freedom Caucus. A supporter of the president, he ran unopposed in the Republican primary.
