Congressman Bruce Braley (D-Waterloo) and Republican challenger Ben Lange of Independence are the guests on this weekend’s edition of “Iowa Press.” Watch the show, or read about what happened here.
…”The biggest issue that’s facing voters in the first district is secret donors from outside the state of Iowa who are trying to buy this election for Ben Lange,” Braley says.
…The Iowa-based American Future Fund is running $800,000 worth of advertising attacking Braley’s votes on health care reform and on other issues. Lange says he is forbidden, by law, from coordinating with the American Future Fund, a group formed under special rules which allow it to avoid disclosing its donors.
“What I will continue to do is talk about the issues,” Lange says. “My opponent doesn’t want to talk about the issues and I’ve said this is about the issues. This is about his voting record.”
