While most of the attention paid to Iowa fundraising numbers in the
first quarter of this year went to the 3rd District primary, it's
worth noting that there is a Democratic primary in the 4th District
too. However, the haul for Democrats there was much less promising.
Two of the candidates, William Meyers and Kevin Miskell have not even
filed reports with the FEC. This is a sign that they have either not
raised enough money to need to file reports or they are too
incompetent to get their information in on time. One suspects that the
former is the case but no matter what the scenario, it does not mark
them as promising candidates in the primary (let alone in a general
election against a well-funded long-time incumbent).
