The editorial board of the Register invited King twice to meet with them, but he declined. It really wouldn’t have helped him though, Kim Weaver is too great of a candidate, of course they endorsed her.
Kim Weaver has a long record of helping seniors, the mentally ill and their families. That career relies on listening, and she says she’ll take that quality to Congress. “I’m going to listen to all the issues. When I go into a nursing home, I’d don’t assume this side is right and this side is wrong. You have to hear all sides,” Weaver, a social worker, told the Register’s editorial board.
Contrast that with her opponent in the 4th district, Rep. Steve King, who’s infamous for talking. He’s known nationally for making outrageous statements — on the floor of Congress, on cable TV, on talk radio, and anywhere else he can get attention.
But actually doing anything? King has earned a reputation for being one of the least-effective members of Congress. In seven terms in Washington, not one of the bills he’s introduced have ever made it out of committee. Instead, he’s known for his amendments and resolutions that ultimately go nowhere. He takes pride in obstruction.
