Description | Last fall, this newspaper urged voters to return U.S. Rep. Steve King to Congress for a ninth term. We made the decision to make that endorsement with some misgivings. We wanted our region to be represented in Washington by someone who would support a conservative agenda.
Unfortunately, King was far from an ideal choice. It is now clear that the endorsement we made was a mistake. We should have pondered more carefully King’s pattern of making outrageous statements.
Therefore, King should resign from Congress with no delay. That will allow a special election to be held so someone who will not be an embarrassment to our state can be elected. Northwest Iowa needs a new representative in the House as soon as possible. |
