MOLINE, ILLINOIS - The Cities with Jim Mertens, WQPT's public affairs program interviews all of the candidates for Iowa's 2nd Congressional District. Incumbent Dave Loebsack(D) and his primary challenger, State Senator Joe Seng, and Republican candidates attorney John Archer and builder Dan Dolan talk about why they are running for office and the current state of Washington politics.

The Cities can be seen on WQPT on Thursday nights at 6:30 pm and Sundays at 5:30 pm. Each episode is also available at wqpt.org after the program airs on WQPT.
