The worst thing about running for office is when your opponent tells lies about you.
Yesterday I heard from a number of folks in my district who were really upset.

Each of them had received a call that seemed like a poll–at first–but then it was just a series of lies about me. This is called a push poll, it tries to manipulate potential voters.

One of the distorted points was about the Area Education Agency bill. Thousands of Iowans showed up, called, and wrote to oppose this bill. This is the bill that has pulled apart a really important support system for public schools, resulting in the loss of hundreds of educators who provided specialized care to our children across our state. Iowans are still angry about this bill, and for good reason.

I listened to Iowans and voted no.

But the Republican majority slipped a pay raise into this bill–not because they care about teachers–but as a trap. It was a weapon to use against legislators like me in this election.
Anyone who campaigns like this, anyone who governs like this, does not deserve to be in office.
