Koch Brothers Hand Blum, Young and King Perfect Scores in 2015 for Putting Their Anti-Middle Class Interests First
[note from BFIA: Ernst and Grassley didn’t do too bad by the Kochs either at 86% each. In contrast, Iowa’s Democratic congressman, Dave Loebsack, stands alone among the delegation in refusing to do the Koch brothers’ bidding with a current grade of only 20%. Thank you, Congressman Loebsack for representing people not corporations.]
DES MOINES – It’s no secret that Iowa’s GOP Congressmen are literally voting in lockstep with the Koch Brothers’ agenda. In fact, the Koch Brothers political organization, Americans for Prosperity, has handed Rod Blum, David Young and Steve King each a perfect 100% rating so far in 114th Congress for supporting the Kochs’ interests over Iowa families – including votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act and repeal the Clean Power Plan.
So it comes as no surprise to see Blum, Young and King once again supporting the Koch Brothers today at the expense of Iowa businesses.
This evening, Iowa’s GOP Congressmen voted against reopening the job-creating Export-Import Bank at the behest of their special interest backers. The Export-Import Bank has been a driver of economic growth in Iowa and is responsible for1,500 Iowa jobs. Moreover, the Ex-Im Bank has supported more than $230 million in export sales across Iowa since 2007, including $54 million in CD1, $17 million in CD3, and $174 million in CD4.
