Republicans Have Significant Voter Advantage in Iowa’s 4th Congressional District

Newly updated voter registration numbers from Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz show Republicans gained 4,736 voters while Democrat and Independent voters both shrunk. Republicans now hold a voter registration advantage of 53,214 over Democrats in Iowa’s 4^th Congressional District.

“Voters in the 4^th Congressional District are standing with Congressman King and Republicans’ belief in balancing our federal budget, creating certainty in Washington to give businesses the predictability and stability to grow, repealing ObamaCare and harnessing American energy,” said King for Congress Campaign Manager Jake Ketzner. “Christie Vilsack’s rejection of a Balanced Budget Amendment to reign in Washington spending, flip-flopping on ObamaCare, support of massive tax hikes on hard-working Iowa families and strategy of ducking questions is clearly costing her and her party in the 4^th District.”

The active voter registration numbers are as follows in the 4^th Congressional District:

	Republicans	Democrats	Independents
June 2012	175,228	126,983	170,343
July 2012	179,964	126,750	167,128
Change	+4,736	-233	-3,215

Republicans in Iowa’s old 5^th Congressional District held a 54,840 voter registration advantage over Democrats at last calculation on January 3, 2012. Republicans in Iowa’s new 4^th Congressional District now hold a voter registration advantage of 53,214 over Democrats.
