It was another media filled week for US Congressman Steve King.

On Monday the nine-term congressman was removed from his committees in agriculture, judiciary and small business. Then on Tuesday, the US House passed a resolution rebuking King’s comments he made in a New York Times article on white supremacy and white nationalism. Since then several individuals and groups are calling for King to resign his seat in the US House, including the Greene County Democratic Party.

“Congressman King has for too long been a lackluster representative for Iowa’s 4th (Congressional) District. Greene County Democrats call upon Congressman King to resign and to allow the election of a person who can fully represent Iowans of the 4th Congressional District. Resignation would be the path of an honorable person and to the benefit of all of us in Greene County.”

That was the Chair of the Greene County Democratic Party Chris Henning. Even Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds denounced King’s comments, but wouldn’t say whether or not he should resign.

“I do not agree with what he said. I do not believe that this is reflective of Iowans and our state and who we are. He needs to decide if he wants to continue to serve Iowans in the 4th District and represent the people and their values. He’s not going to have the ability to be on those committees and represent Iowans in the 4th District.”

King already has two Republican challengers in the 2020 primary with Iowa Senator and Assistant Majority Leader Randy Feenstra and former businessman and educator Bret Richards.
