Martin Monroe is put on Iowa's 4th District ballot - KTIV News 4 Sioux City IA: News, Weather and Sports

There's another candidate you may not have heard about in the race to represent western Iowa in the US Congress, Independent Martin Monroe.

Monroe faces Republican Congressman Steve King and Democratic challenger Christie Vilsack for Iowa's 4th District seat in the November 6th election.

"I feel like I'm willing to work across both isles and I'm not on party platform. The problem with the party platform is you have to commit to the platform 100 percent, which I just don't see. If you really want to represent all people how can you do that," says Martin Monroe, the Independent candidate for Iowa's 4th Congressional District.

Monroe is from Ida Grove, Iowa and served in the Navy after graduation.

He earned a political science degree from the University of South Dakota.

"I'm the man to vote for because I want to get change in this country and I'm not going to feed them a bunch of political jargon and I'm going to talk to them straight. I think it's obvious that Americans could get back to work like this if both parties could come together and that's the problem is both parties can't work together which is another reason why I'm running," says Martin Monroe, the Independent candidate for Iowa 4th Congressional District.

Monroe says he's knocking on as many doors as possible to sway voters in Iowa's 4th Congressional District.
