    Waterloo, IA – Today, State Representative Walt Rogers (R-Waterloo) announced his endorsement of Rod Blum, Republican candidate for United States Congress in Iowa’s First District.

    “I am absolutely confident that Rod is the best candidate to win this critical Congressional seat for our party,” said Rogers. “Rod’s background as a small business owner, combined with his campaign’s organizational and financial strength, make him uniquely capable of winning in November. I look forward to doing everything I can to support Rod in this race, and I encourage my fellow Republicans in the First District to join me in uniting behind his campaign.”

    “I truly enjoyed sharing the campaign trail with Representative Rogers, and I am honored to receive his support in this race. He is an extremely hard worker, a proven leader, and a dedicated public servant,” said Blum. “I know that Walt will continue to lead the charge for smaller, smarter government in the Iowa legislature and I am excited to work alongside him towards a successful 2014 for the Republican party.”

    Rod Blum is a Republican candidate for United States Congress in Iowa’s 1st District. Rod graduated with a finance degree from Loras College and received his MBA from the University of Dubuque. A lifelong resident of Dubuque and current owner of Digital Canal Corporation, he is married to Karen Blum and has five children. For more information please visit: www.RodBlum.com.

    Does this mean he thought he could not win the general election?
    I don't know a whole lot about this district.

    The NRCC has named Rod Blum "On the Radar" as part of their young guns program. http://www.gopyoungguns.com/ He is a great candidate in a very winnable district.

    Historically, the district has been more Republican but has leaned more towards Democrats in the recent past. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa%27...ional_district
