THE ROAD TO VICTORY: Sioux City Journal Editorial Board Endorses J.D. Scholten for Congress in Iowa’s Fourth District

Sioux City Journal Has Endorsed Congressman Steve King in Every Single One of His Previous General Races.

Editorial Board Cites Strength of Scholten’s Candidacy As Reason For Reconsidering Previous Endorsements of King.

In a huge sign of momentum, the Sioux City Journal endorsed J.D. Scholten for Congress in Iowa’s Fourth District. Despite endorsing King in every single one of his previous general election races, the Sioux City Journal’s Editorial Board was won over by Scholten’s “appeal for not only Democrats, but independents and Republicans, as well.”

SIOUX CITY JOURNAL: OUR OPINION: Scholten represents best choice in 4^th

“In Scholten, however, King runs against an opponent with many strengths of his own.

Bright, articulate, personable, possessed of deep roots in this district, informed about issues important to the 4th like agriculture, and armed with a willingness to consider all sides of complex issues such as illegal immigration and work across the aisle to identify solutions to problems, Scholten offers appeal for not only Democrats, but independents and Republicans, as well, we believe.

With a candidate of Scholten’s caliber on the ballot, we decided we wouldn’t overlook, again, the concerns we have shared about King in the past in making an endorsement in this race this year.”
