JOHNSTON, Iowa — (Gray Media Iowa State Capitol Bureau) — Zach Lahn — a farmer and former political staffer from Belle Plaine who declined to take part in Tuesday night’s statewide debate with the Republican candidates for governor — criticized U.S. Representative Randy Feenstra for not agreeing to the debate.
Iowa PBS hosted a debate and invited all five Republican candidates. State Representative Eddie Andrews of Johnston, former state Representative Brad Sherman of Williamsburg, and former Iowa Department of Administrative Services Adam Steen of Runnells were the only three to accept the debate invitation.
