COUNCIL BLUFFS — A 26-year-old man hopes to challenge U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, for the right to represent western Iowa in Congress.

Democrat Mike Denklau will announce his campaign today in Sioux City, Council Bluffs and Des Moines. Former Omaha congressional candidate Jim Esch will introduce Denklau at noon in the Council Bluffs Public Library, 400 Willow Ave.

Denklau is the first Democrat to declare for the 5th District U.S. House seat in 2010.

An Iowa native, he moved to Council Bluffs in the summer after deciding it was time to return from New York and do something for the state.

“I thought I could stay here (in New York),” Denklau said. “Or I could go and help out where there is a need.”

Denklau said the “need’’ arises from King’s representation.

“It really struck me that he didn’t represent the values that I grew up with as a kid,” he said.
