Steven Arnold "Steve" King (born May 28, 1949, in Storm Lake, Iowa) is a conservative who has served as the Republican U.S. Representative from Iowa's 5th congressional district since 2003. In 2017 he was chairman of the House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Rights. Previously King served as a member of the Iowa State Senate. Rep. King is a movement conservative, and is particularly outspoken on the pro-life and immigration issues.
Rep. Steve King is the lead sponsor on the Heartbeat Bill to prohibit abortion after a heartbeat is detectable in the unborn child. Phyllis Schlafly called Rep. King her "favorite congressman" for his strong conservative leadership on multiple issues. He holds strong positions against illegal immigration, open borders, globalism, and identity politics.
King is known as an outspoken conservative. He received a 100% rating from the National Right to Life Committee, an "A" from the National Taxpayers Union, and a 90% rating from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.[1]
The Left and the GOP establishment have falsely accused King of being a "white nationalist" because he associated with the conservative, patriotic, and pro-Israel Austrian Freedom Party, among other frivolous reasons.[2][3] The media twisted King's statements while other Republicans frequently caved and sided with the media.[4][5][6]
