GOP Candidates in Iowa’s Third District Concerned About Ukraine Aid Package

(Des Moines, IA) — The three Republican candidates running in the third congressional district primary are raising concerns about sending U-S aid to Ukraine.

The winner will face Democratic incumbent Cindy Axne in November.
