Steve King
Steve King was first elected to Congress by the people of Iowa’s Fifth District on November 5th, 2002. Founding King Construction in 1975, Steve King began his business with one bulldozer, and built it into a company that continues today under the ownership and management of his oldest son David.
Serving six years in the Iowa Senate, then Senator Steve King served as the Chairman of the State Government Committee and Vice Chairman of the Oversight Budget Committee. He was a member of the Appropriations Committee, Judiciary Committee, Business and Labor Committee, and the Commerce Committee.
Since his election to Congress, Steve King has served on the House Agriculture Committee. Congressman King also serves on the House Judiciary Committee, where he sits on the Constitution Subcommittee and is the Ranking Member of the Immigration Subcommittee. Because of his background as a small business owner, and the knowledge that 97% of all businesses in Iowa are small businesses, Congressman King sought a special waiver to serve on a third committee and was appointed to the House Small Business Committee.
Steve King lives with Marilyn, his wife of 35 years, on an acreage near Kiron where they have made their home for nearly 30 years. Active members of St. Martin ’s Church in Odebolt, Steve and Marilyn King maintain strong ties to small town Iowa. The Kings are blessed to have their three grown sons living and working nearby, and recently welcomed the birth of their second granddaughter. They enjoy escaping DC to spend time at home with family and friends.
