The current district includes Sioux City (83 K), Council Bluffs (63 K) and few 10-25K towns. In the new district for 2012, Council Bluffs is gone, but Ames is added (58 K). Ames is a college town (Iowa State University). They aren't as liberal as Iowa City but hopefully they will help move things to the left a little.

While there are a lot of rural areas to deal with, this is the most hopeful I've been in a long time to get rid of King.
