DescriptionU.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, the senior Democrat in Iowa's congressional delegation, today endorsed incumbent U.S. Rep. Leonard Boswell in his party's June 3 primary battle for the 3rd District nomination.

Former state legislator Ed Fallon of Des Moines has scheduled a news conference today to officially launch his campaign to oppose Boswell for the Democratic congressional nomination, contending Boswell has voted too often with President Bush.

Fallon is a maverick who has been willing to buck his party's leadership in past. During the 2000 presidential campaign, he angered Democratic officials by endorsing Green Party nominee Ralph Nader over Democrat Al Gore.
