Curt Hanson is our Democratic candidate for John Whitaker's State House District 90. Obama appointed John to serve as State Executive Director for the Farm Service Agency in Iowa. The Democrats have held District 90 for 15 years. John has run unopposed for his last two elections. Now that John is stepping down, the Republicans think they have a shot at District 90.
Steve Burgmeier will oppose Curt. We cannot let Steve win. Steve is currently one of the three Republican Jefferson County supervisors who recently made a resolution against gay marriage. Very creepy, indeed. This is going to be a tight race. The special election is September 1st. We are relying on absentee ballots to win this election for Curt and need about 1,700 votes to win. Obama wants this win. He sent two young men, Jake and Kevin from state to campaign for Curt. You can find them at our campaign headquarters 59 E. Broadway open 7 days a week. Get out the vote! You can get an absentee ballot and sign up to volunteer on Curt's website. http://www.curthanson.org/
