I’m still trying to figure out how Jim Leach lost his seat in the 2nd CD.
His liberal Republicanism aside, he had incredible name ID and decent constituent services.
I know the district leans Dem - but he’d won there many times before with little effort.
Leach was lucky that he won reelection at all in the last few cycles. His chronic disinterest in campaign fundraising was eventually going to bite him in the butt, and it finally did.
