Ben Lange is running for Congress in the 1st District in Iowa. From his ad on tv you can't tell
what party he is affiliated with, but you can probably guess he's running as a Republican. In his ad, he tells us that Washington needs "courage" from his neck of the woods. He really doesn't present any information beyond he's a local boy and all patriotic and against debt. I looked his website up and sent him a note to let him know that you don't have "courage" if someone has to look you up to find your party affiliation.
