Now we vote them out.

Republicans in the House of Representatives including Iowa’s Zach Nunn, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Ashley Hinson and Randy Feenstra, voted for Trump’s friend, so-called MAGA Mike Johnson for speaker who said that programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security pose an “existential threat” to the American way of life and the “whole form of government.”  

He’s not just using vague rhetoric either.  He has proposed literally trillions of dollars of cuts to these programs.  Not just proposed, but “vigorously championed” budget resolutions proposing trillions in cuts to these programs.  All of Iowa’s representatives in congress voted for him to be speaker. This is not an acceptable situation. If you are a Democrat or no-party voter in Iowa you essentially have no one representing your interests or point of view in congress.

Fortunately, there is good news. Representatives Miller-Meeks, Hinson and Feenstra all have Democratic opponents, giving voters a huge opportunity to remove these MAGA extremist Republicans from office.

As it stands right now, Iowans have NO Democratic representation in either DC or Des Moines. All four congressmen and women are Republicans. Republicans also control the Iowa senate, the house and the governor’s office. I  heard from a reliable source that one of these Republican representatives actually told high school students at a town hall event that because Republicans are in the majority they did not have to listen to anything they said. This is appalling.

As state auditor Rob Sand has said many times, he is the only statewide Democrat left standing and they are trying to attack his office and the courts as we speak.

Here are the Democratic challengers we MUST elect

At the time of this posting we have not heard if there will be a challenger to Zach Nunn’s seat in IA-03 but we hope to hear something soon.

Please support these candidates. We cannot afford to let the party of the January 6 insurrection, that wants to take down the social safety net, continue to have their way unchallenged.
