Chris Backemeyer spent Tuesday outside Mike Flood’s Norfolk town hall, using a booth at the Johnny Carson Theatre to speak with attendees about affordability, tariffs, healthcare and Iran.

Backemeyer said he would push Congress to reclaim authority over trade, war powers and oversight if elected.
With 5 1/2 months until the general election, he said his campaign will keep emphasizing direct voter contact after winning 10 of the district’s 12 counties in the Democratic primary.
