Hubler: Fifth district needs "a servant, not a King"

Watch Rob Hubler make his case:

Not only does Steve King embarrass all Iowans on a regular basis, he doesn’t even serve his constituents well. The Sioux City Journal researched the question How effective is Steve King?, and couldn’t come up with many accomplishments.

In fact, only three of the 44 bills King has sponsored even made it out of committee. Keep in mind that for the first two of King’s three terms in the House, Republicans controlled the chamber.

King has managed to get one bill through, according to the the Sioux City Journal. That was a resolution on “Recognizing the importance of Christmas in the Christian faith.”

No, that is not a joke from The Colbert Report.

Commenting on the Sioux City Journal’s article about King, Douglas Burns notes that King has focused on expanding Highway 20 but seems little concerned about Highway 30, which has more traffic and economic development potential.

Do Iowans a favor and give some cash to Hubler’s campaign.

  • Rob Hubler is a sterling human being.

    Any Democrat, and I mean ANY Democrat would be an improvement.  Even, say, Heath Shuler.

    But Hubler is a gift.  He is a Democrat.  He is light years better than Steve King, by every measure that counts for anything–personal, political, intellectual, professional, spiritual.  (If I left something out, he would be better that way too.)  And he would actually be a good congressman who cares about progressive issues.

    Finally, (bonus) he has a shot at beating King.  Iowa is going to go blue, probably in single digits, and people just don’t like King.  Hubler is reaching out to Republicans and independents, who might be embarrassed by the antics of the incumbent, and are Ready For Change.

    So don’t hang back waiting for some sign from on high.  Show Rob the money.
