Three Republican candidates for Iowa governor debated education policy and abortion at their first forum of the campaign. The debate featured former Department of Administrative Services head Adam Steen, state Rep. Eddie Andrews, and former state lawmaker Brad Sherman. All three disagreed with the position of Congressman Randy Feenstra, suggesting private schools should not be forced to accept students with special needs due to limited space or special needs. They also supported the idea of banning abortion altogether. The Republican primary is set for June 2.
