Iowa Voters

A candidate’s voice has been stilled, and he notes fundraising was a problem in his last race. Quoted at jdeeth’s blog, 2006 Democratic candidate Mark Nolte says:

It was very disheartening to me to learn that the party leadership is only supportive of candidates who are willing to accept special interest money and who serve to feed the larger machine. I didn’t get into this to be a fund raiser, I got into this to serve my state and spread the message that special interest groups are stealing our democracy.

He’s not running in 2008 even though the seat he sought will be an open seat with the retirement of incumbent Sandy Greiner.

Any puppets want to dance in House district 89?
