A few moments ago I wanted a tidbit of information about GOP congressional candidate Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Ottumwa, so I logged onto her campaign website. I clicked on issues. A blank page came up. I clicked on experience. Again, nothing.
I decided to check other campaign websites for Iowa’s congressional candidate. Congressman Dave Loebsack, a Democrat from Waterloo, who represents the second district, is the person Miller-Meeks faces in November. He doesn’t have a campaign website.
Moving to the first district, David Hartsuch, the Republican Party’s candidate, doesn’t have a campaign website. Congressman Bruce Braley, a Democrat from Waterloo, has a campaign website. It took a long time to load and I sort of gave up after three or four minutes.
In the third district, Congressman Leonard Boswell, a Democrat from Des Moines, has a website that was updated for his primary race against Ed Fallon. It doesn’t look as if it’s been updated since June. Boswell’s Republican opponent, Kim Schmett, has a website that features an August 12 Des Moines Register piece when you log on.
In the fourth district, Congressman Tom Latham, a Republican from Ames, has a website that has a sign-up/donation pop up before you get to the actual home page. Democrat Becky Greenwald of Perry, the candidate who’s challenging Latham, has a campaign website with one of those sign-up/donation screens, too,
In the fifth district, Congressman Steve King, a Republican from Kiron, has a capaign website. It features a quiz as well as some of the news releases from his congresional office. Democrat Rob Hubler of Council Bluffs, the candidate who’s challenging King, has a campaign website. I clicked on the word "blog" in the tool bar at the top. It pulled up a blank page.

Kay,
Don’t know what you’re seeing..but I brought up Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks web pages just fine…
You must be having issues w your computer bc I got both of miller-meeks tabs to open on her page and found a website for congressman loebsack at http://www.loebsackforcongrees.org right away.
I checked out the website and it was fine. I believe it was your own software on the computer that was having loading.
LAZY Post. I expect better of you Henderson.

True, it’s not that flashy with the bells and whistles, but I don’t have the special interest money of my opponent so it will have to do.
if anybody wants to talk with me personally, my number is 563-823-8442.
Sincerely,
David Hartsuch
