Democracy for America announced today that they will be endorsing Ed Fallon in the primary in Iowa’s 3rd District.

Last Tuesday, our Primaries Matter campaign delivered results and helped lead Donna Edwards to a resounding 24-point victory over Bush-Democrat Al Wynn in MD-04.

Ed Fallon is the next DFA-List endorsement and he’s taking on Bush-Democrat, Rep. Leonard Boswell in IA-03.

Ed Fallon is a true progressive and he has a record of beating out-of-touch Democrats in Iowa. In 1992, he beat 10-year incumbent Gary Sherzan with 63% of the vote and became a State Representative. When the conservative party establishment tried to primary Ed out of the state legislature, Ed won again with 68% of the vote.

Now, with your help, Ed will beat Bush-Democrat Leonard Boswell. Here’s a breakdown of some of the important differences between them.

As I wrote a couple weeks ago, national recognition from groups like DFA and national blogs can help level the playing field when it comes to fund raising. Boswell relies on corporate PAC’s to give him money, Fallon will rely on small donations from Iowa and around the country.
