As he gears up for a difficult re-election cycle, Rep. Steve Kings campaign is strapped for cash. Individual donations to the Iowa Republican are down considerably from past cycles and support from corporate donors and Kings own colleagues have vanished entirely.
King has not received a single contribution this year from a political action committee associated with a sitting member of Congress. Corporate PACs and interest groups have also completely shunned him. Through the first six months of the year, King received just two contributions from third party political entities: $2,000 donations from PACs associated with two former members of Congress, Lamar Smith (R-TX) and the infamous Todd Akin (R-MO).

King is being (creditably) primaried by several Rs -- AND, King won (against Dem - Scholten) by the narrowest margin (3 pts) of his career in the last election. Turning his district blue would be -- a REAL political coup
