Rival candidates focus on economy and schools in District 79
In Iowa House District 79 race Democrat Mike Owen of West Branch faces Republican Jeff Kaufmann of Wilton. They align on boosting education and state investment, but diverge on tax and regulatory strategies to grow the economy. Kaufmann backs tax incentives and uniform local option sales tax. Owen seeks salary boosts funded by closing loopholes and opposing rapid depreciation tax breaks.
