Ed Fallon - Congressional Run

Congressional Run

On January 8, 2008, Fallon formally filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for Congress. He formally announced his candidacy in a press conference in Des Moines on January 16, 2008.

Media reports have noted that Fallon carried the 3rd district in the 2006 gubernatorial primary, and examination of the caucus results shows that Senator John Edwards, whom Fallon endorsed, did much better in the district than did Senator Hillary Clinton, whom Boswell endorsed. Edwards carried six counties in the district, while Clinton carried none. (Illinois Senator Barack Obama carried another six counties and the district.)

Fallon was defeated by Boswell in the Democratic primary on June 3, 2008, by a 61 to 39 percent margin.
