After a full day at the legislature, I've finished my recap of Monday's "KHOI's Capitol Week."
The audio file is here, along with a rundown of topics covered. We try to include Iowa politics stories you won't see elsewhere.

Sharing again with link:
I've been saying #IA02 is in play, along with #IA01 and #IA03.
These numbers suggest Trump's approval rating is -12 in #IA01 (which he carried by 8.5 points), -12 in #IA02 (voted for Trump by 10 points), and -16 in #IA03 (which he carried by 4 points).
Let’s go, Iowa! Flip all the seats!!!
I know #IA04 won’t flip, but everything else is in play: Senate seat, Governor, #IA03, #IA02 and especially #IA01 - the district I grew up in. In Miller-Meeks’s 3 wins, 2 have been by single-digit votes and 0.2%. It’s in play. Come on, Iowans, I believe in you.

Corrupt #IA01 GOP Rep. Miller-Meeks is WILDLY abusing her taxpayer-funded budget to communicate with constituents to produce OBVIOUS campaign ads.

"Back in their districts, members of Congress—particularly swing-seat Republicans—seem to be in hiding. Hardly any are holding town halls or other well-publicized events that could put them face-to-face with frustrated voters."

My quarterly reminder: 'Tis the season for candidates to tout their fundraising hauls.
I don't report these stories until the FEC filings are publicly available, so I can see where the money came from. I will never just write up a campaign's press release. #IASen #IA01 #IA02 #IA03
Iowans can't afford gas.
Zach Nunn and Mariannette Miller-Meeks are enabling the war in Iran, and their constituents are the ones left paying the price. #IA01 #IA03
In toss-up #IA01, Democrat Christina Bohannan raised a whopping $2M in 2026 Q1 to take on GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks.

The same goes for Miller-Meeks in #IA01, Scott Perry in #PA10 and Ryan Mackenzie in #PA07.
Remarkably, in each of these 5 polls the Republican is *less* popular than Trump.
Earlier this month, OB-Gyn PAC (political arm of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) endorsed Democrat Christina Bohannan in #IA01, citing Miller-Meeks' "vote for devastating cuts to Medicaid."
The PAC had backed MMM in 2022 and 2024.

Clinton, Iowa (population around 24K) will lose labor/delivery services in May.
"Company officials cites rising health care costs, staffing shortages, issues with government funding and policy changes to Medicaid and Medicare as reasons for the changes." #IA01

"The Republican-led Congress chose to let some premium tax credits expire at the end of last year... but substantially increased costs for many Americans."
That's what Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn voted for. #IA01 #IA03

One of the ads targets #IA01 Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks:

Even though Trump has endorsed Miller-Meeks in #IA01, you have to wonder how safe she is against MAGA primary challenger David Pautsch, who got about 44% of the votes in the 2024 primary.

In the #IA01 primary, I don’t think there is any statement from Christina Bohannan on Iran, while her working class opponent @terrellforcongress.bsky.social said the ruling class is responsible for killing Americans in war and it has to stop
The team and I are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support since filing to get on the ballot.
Now the real work begins. From now until November, we’ll travel to every corner of the district, talk with voters, and earn the trust of Iowans across #IA01. 💛
