Two Iowa 2nd Congressional District candidates announce accepting debates

This is only the last part of the article. I'll post a video soon of Dave's response.

But the two major party candidates are not the only contenders for Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District. Independent Dave Bushaw and Libertarian Rick Stewart have also qualified to appear on the ballot in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District. Bushaw told reporters Friday after his appearance at the Des Moines Register Political Soapbox he would be unlikely to appear at an Iowa PBS debate due to changed criteria for qualifying for a debate. The independent candidate also said he had not had contact with other media organizations about potential debates.

Bushaw praised Mitchell for calling for both himself and Stewart, a Libertarian, to be included in 2nd District debates. James’ campaign did not reply to a request for statement on debate participation.

“He has called for me to be included in debates, and I would welcome invitations to any debates,” Bushaw said.
