Iowa voters deserve to hear candidates’ views

All voters should get an opportunity to watch a televised debate between the two Republican congressional candidates for Iowa's 1st District. To my knowledge as this is written, none is set because one of the candidates, Ben Lange, will not commit.
I would like to hear the two (Rod Blum is the other) men's reasons for running for Congress. What experience and ideas do they have to make Iowa and the country a better place to live and work? Do they plan to be a career politician? What are their thoughts on ObamaCare? On General Services Administration's abuses of tax money? What congressional committees would they want to serve?
