Pautsch challenging Miller-Meeks in GOP primary from right wing of party
We are now nine days away from the Iowa Primary.
There are some competitive races for jobs you might not expect.
Republican Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks has an early challenge. She faces a primary fight against Republican David Pautsch for the First Congressional District seat.
Let’s follow the money.
Miller-Meeks enjoys a huge financial advantage over Pautsch. The latest filings with the Federal Election Commission show Miller-Meeks has almost $1.8 million in cash on hand. Pautsch has a little more than $6,000.
Host Jim Niedelman gets to know Pautsch better. Born in Jacksonville, Illinois, Pautsch really grew up in Ida Grove, Iowa. He served four years in the Army.
“My opponent is doing a pretty good job of shooting herself in the foot,” Pautsch said. “She … votes like she doesn’t even know how to spell ‘Republican.'”
