Krause points to a gas tax increase he helped pass in 1978 as evidence of bipartisan cooperation. The legislation won support from more Republicans than Democrats, he said. Krause chaired the House Transportation Committee during two terms.
Topping Krause's policy agenda are promises of job growth, worker-focused trade policies and support for veterans.
Specifically, Krause says he would introduce emergency legislation emphasizing "fair trade" policies in all agreements with foreign companies. He said he would work to reverse a law that allows American companies overseas to avoid taxes if they keep their profits outside the United States.
Ask Krause about Grassley--his experience, his influence in the U.S. Senate, the federal money he delivers to Iowans--and the Democrat scoffs.
