Harkin FR: Rod Benson RE: Campaign events for David Johnson on 7/9 DA: 20 June 1986 This campaign is in many ways similar to Wayne Cryts' Missouri campaign -- disillusioned farmer decides to run for Congress and make a differrence in farm policies. Johnson was even a Republican national delegate, before he switched over to the Demo party and decided to challenge New Right (conservative opportunity society chairman) Vin Weber. Johnson won the nomination, with only token opposition, at the district party convention on 5/10 with 76 percent of the vote. On most issues, Johnson is very progressive -- stopping excessive military spending, support for nuclear freeze, get the U.S. out of Central America, etc. He is a pro-lifer, however, which has alienated some of his natural Democratic constituency. Johnson is portraying Weber as a slick Washington politico, ultra-right winger. Weber, however, as made some smart moves.
