IA-03 Debate: Some takeaways from Nunn v. Baccam

with Kathie Obradovich, Dave Price, Dave Busiek, Laura Belin and Barry Piatt

Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District is a “toss-up” according to elections raters like Cook Political Report. And Tuesday night on KCCI-TV, Incumbent Republican Zach Nunn and Democratic challenger Lanon Baccam squared off in a debate.

On this episode of Iowa Down Ballot, moderator Dave Price talks with a panel of longtime Iowa journalists and analysts about how they did in one of these rare side-by-side moments. Later they get into the equally tight race next door in Iowa’s 1st Congressional District between incumbent Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Democratic challenger. Hear about a farm bill in stasis within a Republican House and a FEMA chief decrying disinformation perpetrated by former President Donald Trump.
