DES MOINES, Iowa — On Wednesday, a Republican candidate threw his hat into the primary race for Iowa’s 4th Congressional district.

Chris McGowan is the President of the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce, who is looking to succeed Congressman Randy Feenstra. Rep. Feenstra announced earlier in the year that he was running for Iowa Governor, clearing the way for a new Iowa Republican to represent the district’s 36 counties.

McGowan was in central Iowa after his announcement on Wednesday. WHO 13’s Zach Fisher interviewed the candidate on his decision to run, top campaign issues in the district and how he would represent those Iowans if he was to win the election. View the full interview linked above with Chris McGowan.
