Plymouth County Democrats Host Congressional Forum

(Le Mars) — Plymouth county Democrats hosted a 4th District Congressional Candidate Forum last evening. Three Democratic contenders seeking to unseat Republican Congressman Steve King appeared at the Le Mars Public Library to introduce themselves to the public and to share their views relating to national issues. The candidates included J.D. Scholten of Sioux City, LeAnne Jacobsen of Spencer, and Dr. John Paschen of Ames. The three candidates answered questions from nearly 35 people during the hour and a half forum. For many attendees,
this was their first opportunity to meet and visit with the three Democratic contenders. The three answered questions dealing with health care, mental health, immigration, and several other issues.
