Incumbent U.S. Congresswoman Mary Miller is facing a primary challenge this spring.  Judy Bowlby is among the challengers for the Republican nomination for the seat representing the state’s 15th congressional district.  Voters will choose the nominees for this race and many others when they head to the polls on Tuesday, March 17. 

Bowlby previously worked in governmental affairs with respect to agricultural issues.  She says her view of the evolution of the political climate in America is what compelled her to run. 

Bowlby says she sought bipartisan efforts to craft and advance legislation, also bringing in outside groups and ordinary citizens.

The challenger cites her rural experiences, having grown up on a farm, in explaining her platform for aiming to cut costs on food, gas, and other essentials. 

Bowlby closes by promoting what she considers her moderate approach to solving problems constituents in the 15th congressional district face.
