Chris Peters, who is running as a Republican in the 2nd Congressional District, will hold a fundraiser later this month with one of Iowa’s representatives.

The event, slated for April 23 in Davenport, will feature Rep. Rod Blum, R-Iowa. Blum represents the 1st District.

Peters, a Coralville surgeon and owner of Corridor Surgery and Vein Center, is running to be the GOP candidate to go up against incumbent Rep. Dave Loebsack. Peters kicked off his campaign on the first weekend of April. He was approved by Republican Paul Pate, the Iowa secretary of State, in March as a candidate after the campaign submitted a candidate affidavit by mail that had gathered 2,200 signatures.    

Peters is a former Libertarian Party National Committee member and was previously an independent before becoming a registered Republican.

Here are the event details:
