Ex-King Intern Explores House Race
A "potential candidate" is out and about in no-incumbent Iowa House District 2: law student and young Republican Megan Hess of Spencer.
Hess showed up at a Clay County GOP dinner alongside presidential candidate Thaddeus "who?" McCotter and several state and local Republicans: "Iowa Republican Central Committee Chairman Matt Strawn, Iowa Ag Secretary Bill Northey, State Senator David Johnson of Ocheydan, State Representative Royd Chambers of Sheldon, and Clay County Supervisor Del Brockshaus."
The Spencer native expects to graduate next spring from William Mitchell law school in the Twin Cities. (Which could be problematic if there's a primary.) She's also spent time interning for Steve King.
This empty seat is all of Clay and Palo Alto, with the southern third of Dickinson thrown in. It's made out of pieces of Okoboji Republican Jeff Smith and Estherville Democrat John Wittneben's old seats. House 2 is a Republican seat, true, with a registration edge of 1152. But it's a veritable People's Republic compared to other northwest Iowa seats. Jack Kibbie's base is in Palo Alto, and Marcy Frevert lasted a long time before she retired and handed off to Wittneben last year.
Reading some tea leaves here: With a candidate in this district and with Royd Chambers at the same event as Hess, we can guess that Chambers isn't moving out of House District 3, where he's paired up with fellow Republican Dan Huseman. Back when I wrote up that seat in a very early District Of The Day I was guessing there could be a primary. But turns out Chambers and Huseman are good friends and roommates during session. That, and Huseman missing a big chunk of session after an April heart attack, leads me to predict a retirement instead.
The worst.
I FEEL COMPELLED TO SAY WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY. I have known Megan Hess since she has interned for Steve King. Not only is she not even close to being mature enough to be our representative, she is also a very mean and self-centered person. Megan Hess is only concerned about advancing her own political and personal aspirations and could care less about her fellow Iowans. When she didn't get into any of our law schools here in Iowa, she literally cursed the state and had to go to the only school that she got into, which was in the Twin Cities. Megan Hess stated several times that she was going to run for "any office she could in Minnesota because the idiots in Iowa don't deserve me." And now because there's an open seat in District 2 she wants to come back and try to represent us??? NO WAY, WE CAN NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!
ReplyDeleteI have personally heard Megan Hess express her disdain for Farmers, Seniors, and Veterans. She simply views people as pawns to be used to get to any position of power. She doesn't even care about Republican values - she is only a Republican because there are more registered Republicans in the district than Democrats. She would run as a Communist if that was the dominant party here in District 2! MEGAN HESS IS AS FAKE AS YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET. Please, can a REAL REPUBLICAN please step-up and run? We cannot afford to have someone like Megan Hess represent us! It would be the worst thing that ever happened to us in District 2 - seriously.
