“We’re becoming the Whole Foods party, when we need to figure out how to win in Dollar General districts like mine,” J.D. Scholten told The Washington Post.
The Iowa Democratic candidate who was narrowly defeated by controversial Republican Republican Steve King has voiced concerns that the Democrats are becoming the"Whole Foods party."
“We’re becoming the Whole Foods party, when we need to figure out how to win in Dollar General districts like mine,” Scholten said in an interview published Wednesday with The Washington Post."You don’t have to win, but you should be able to compete.” Scholten lost the Iowa 4th Congressional District race to incumbent GOP Representative King by about 10,000 votes, or 3.3 percentage points, in the November 2018 midterm elections. King was first elected to the office in 2002. In February, following remarks in which he downplayed the offensiveness of being labeled a"white nationalist, white supremacist," King announced he would seek a 10th term in 2020.
But Aimee Allison, president and founder of She the People, a group that looks to increase voter turnout among women of color, said Democrats should not waste their time and resources looking for votes from people who will never embrace liberal values. She said Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign failed to connect with black voters, not rural Midwest voters.
