Former State Senator Tom Fiegan (pronounced FEE-gun) formally declared himself a candidate for the U.S. Senate today. If you go to his campaign website, you can read his announcement speech and Fiegan's bio. Here's the Radio Iowa story about Fiegan's announcement. A little background from the story:
Fiegen will face Bob Krause of Fairfield and perennial candidate Sal Mohamed of Sioux City in a Democratic primary
….Nine years ago Fiegen ran against a legislator who'd been the leader of Republicans in the state senate and won. Fiegen then served two years in the legislature before redistricting tossed him into a 2002 contest against another incumbent Republican — Fiegan lost that race.
Grassley is seeking his sixth term in the U.S. Senate.
