Republican gubernatorial candidate says his opponent can’t win

February 1, 2002 By admin

Republican Steve Sukup says an opponent for the Republican Party’s nomination for Governor has too much baggage. Sukup is sending a letter to 10-thousand Iowa republican activists, ridiculing competitor and lawyer Doug Gross’ client list.Sukup says Gross has represented casinos and hog lots — as a lawyer lobbyist. Sukup says it’d be stupid for republicans to nominate a lawyer to face off in November against democrat Governor Tom Vilsack, who’s also a lawyer.Gross defends his legal work, and says he’s worked in the private sector trying to help businesses.Gross says Iowans are sick and tired of name-calling. Gross says the candidates should be focusing, instead, on how to make the state better.Sukup says if he’s going to go toe-to-toe with a special interest lawyer, he might as well bring it up now. Sukup, Gross and Bob Vander Plaats are competing for the Republican Party’s gubernatorial nomination.
