(Radio Iowa) — The Democrat who came within three points of defeating Republican Congressman Steve King in 2018 will run for congress again in 2020.   J.D. Scholten, of Sioux City, released a campaign video ad this (Monday) morning to make the announcement and he’ll hold a campaign rally in his hometown of Sioux City tonight (Monday). A rematch with King is not certain. King faces three G-O-P challengers in the fourth congressional district, although King could run as an independent candidate in November of next year if King loses the June Primary. Republicans hold a voter registration edge of 70-thousand in the fourth congressional district. In 2018, Scholten won the six largest counties in district.

Scholten’s first 2020 campaign video ad is narrated by actor Kevin Costner
