Democrat raises more that Steve King in northwest Iowa

SIOUX CITY — Democratic challenger J.D. Scholten outraised eight-term Republican U.S. Rep. Steve King and two other candidates running for Iowa’s 4th Congressional District seat in the most recent quarter.

Scholten, a former professional baseball player from Sioux City, said he raised more than $174,000 for the three-month period ending Dec. 31.

King brought in $87,543, according a report filed with the Federal Election Commission. The reports were due Wednesday.

King’s Republican challenger, Cyndi Hanson of Sioux City, reported campaign receipts of $5,771 for the quarter.

Scholten held a hefty advantage over his two Democratic opponents, Leann Jacobsen of Spencer, who raised $47,430 during the quarter, and John Paschen of Ames, who had $62,591 in receipts.
