A former Iowa Public Safety Commissioner has announced he is running for the Democrat nomination in Iowa’s Second Congressional District.
Kevin Techau is a sixth generation Iowan and an Air Force veteran. Techau says he’s running for the seat now held by Republican Ashley Hinson in part because he believes the congresswoman has been a divisive presence.
Hinson was re-elected last year with nearly 60 percent of the vote. Techau says Hinson isn’t living up to her campaign promises.
Hinson’s campaign released a statement saying that Techau is “a radical leftist who wants to return to (President) Biden’s open border agenda and push the woke policies that Iowans rejected in November.” The statement says Techau is out of touch with Iowa values and would be a rubber stamp for AOC’s squad of radicals in Congress. It also says Techau is a Hillary Clinton supporter, Barack Obama appointee, and Joe Biden donor.
