Dr. Christopher Peters is hosting an event in Walcott on Thursday, July 27th to announce his plans for the 2018 election.
Dr. Peters is a U.S. Army veteran, a practicing surgeon, and a small business owner in Coralville. He was the Republican nominee for U.S. House in 2016.
Dr. Peters will meet with voters at events throughout the 2nd District this week. Media and the public are invited to join Dr. Peters Thursday, July 27th:
-
Walcott, 6:30 p.m. - Truck Stop, 755 W Iowa 80 Rd
“I have continued travelling the 2nd District since last November and I’ve seen that Iowans are as frustrated as ever with their federal government. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans in Washington D.C. have put forth practical ideas to address our most pressing issues. The people I’ve met want an independent-minded representative in Congress,” Dr. Peters said.
During the 2016 election, Dr. Peters earned 46 percent of the vote, including the majority of votes in 15 counties. By comparison, Republican challengers to Congressman Dave Loebsack in 2012 and 2008 earned just 43 percent and 40 percent.
