I don’t know why Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post keeps suggesting that Representative Leonard Boswell is a retirement risk for Democrats. True, Republicans have been trying to pressure him to call it quits, but I haven’t heard any Democrat around here express concerns about it.
According to Radio Iowa’s Kay Henderson, Boswell told a “small group of reporters” on Monday, “I’m running.”
Five Republicans have already announced plans to run in Iowa’s third Congressional district, and three of them have started hiring campaign staff. To win this D+1 district, the GOP nominee will need something better than the tired rhetoric Republicans have thrown at Boswell lately.

that is surprising.........
I haven’t seen Boswell around the district meeting constituents for months now…..isn’t he already retired?

Somehow I doubt you would be supporting any Democrat in the race
I could be wrong and we don’t need term limits on Leonard, just people like Scott Garrett, Steve King, Mike Pence, etc. and hopefully one day that crowd will be defeated.
