Michael Bridgeford: The Independent Running for Congress in Iowa

Michael Bridgeford is running as an independent candidate for the U.S. House in Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, one of the most competitive districts in the country. In Fiercely Independent’s first candidate interview, Bridgeford discusses why he entered the race, his frustration with the two-party system and how independent members could change the balance of power in Congress. Chris also questions him about affordability, family farms, tariffs, AI data centers, rural healthcare and the influence of special interests in Washington. Can an independent candidate compete with the Republican and Democratic establishments and give independent voters a genuine voice in Congress? Stay fierce. Stay independent.
