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.
Xavier Carrigan responds to DCCC endorsing Sarah Trone Garriott @sarahforiowa.bsky.social in #IA03.
(DCCC is also supporting Christina Bohannan @bohannaniowa.bsky.social in #IA01)
Has not endorsed a candidate in #IA02 or #IA04.
Unusual split in #Iowa delegation:
Miller-Meeks #IA01: nay
Hinson #IA02: yea
Nunn #IA03: yea
Feenstra #IA04: nay

#IA01 Miller-Meeks, #IA02 Hinson, #IA03 Nunn, and #IA04 Feenstra all voted against repealing Trump's Canada tariffs.

(after voting yesterday to block all House floor votes on tariffs until after July)
Expect to hear about this in Democratic ads this fall.
#IA01 Miller-Meeks, #IA02 Hinson, #IA03 Nunn, and #IA04 Feenstra all voted for the rule—that is, they voted to prevent any House floor votes on Trump's tariffs through the end of July.
Rule failed, which means they'll have to take a stand on the tariffs soon.
New "Iowa Down Ballot" dropped!
Dave, Kathie, and I discussed House members grilling Des Moines Public School officials, an explosive House subcommittee meeting, bills related to nursing homes, and some news from the #IA04 and #IAGov races.

Lots of them! But #IA04 spurred the thought. I mean, these are all pretty random races, like I said.
"Zach Nunn, heel. Good boy."
I think that's Feenstra trying to get some attention in the back. He's not my rep, so I'm not certain, but it definitely fits his try-hard, loser MO.

Iowa media must seek comment from Rep. Zach Nunn #IA03 and Randy Feenstra #IA04 (now running for governor): do they agree that Alex Pretti shouldn't have been carrying a gun?
My personal ratings:
#IAGov lean R (would be likely R if the GOP field were stronger)
#IASen likely R
#IA01 toss-up
#IA02 lean R (could move to likely R depending on the GOP nominee)
#IA03 toss-up
#IA04 safe R
Screenshot of November 12 tweet from Rep. Randy Feenstra: I appreciated receiving a document certifying that I flew aboard Air Force One with President Trump earlier this year. It was an honor to fly to Iowa on Air Force One and talk about President Trump’s historic achievements for our country. Iowa supports the America First agenda! (He included a photo of himself holding the "flight certificate" and a close-up view of the certificate signed by the Presidential Pilot)
Over on the other site, #IA04 Rep. Randy Feenstra is embarrassing himself.
(He would love to have Trump's endorsement for his #IAGov campaign, but so far, no dice.)
. @robsandia.bsky.social , are there any #soybean #farmers in #Iowa who might unfortunately be harmed by the result these #MAGA policies?

Same goes for #IA03 where voters in that district need to defeat Zach Nunn, and in #IA02, defeat the GOP candidate that wins the primary (as well as #IASen, which could be Ashley Hinson or whoever emerges in the GOP Senate primary).
#IA04 is a longshot to flip, but hey... you never know.
'Tis the season for U.S. House and Senate candidates to announce their 3Q fundraising totals.
My longstanding editorial policy is never to write campaign finance stories based on a press release. I wait until the full FEC filing is available. (The deadline is Oct 15)

America First? Not when $20B of our tax dollars go to Argentina — who then drop tariffs and sell soybeans to China.
💔 Iowa farmers lose, Argentina profits. Another betrayal of rural America.

Yes, three Democrats are running in #IA04. Ashley WolfTornabane was the first to announce in July. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ly2...
Then Stephanie Steiner: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz_7...
Most recently Dave Dawson: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSEp...
With the big special election last week in Sioux City, I forgot to mention that Dave Dawson, a former Iowa House member from Woodbury County, announced Wednesday that he's running for Congress in #IA04.
I interviewed Dawson on Thursday:

What are your main news sources? I've been covering the new candidate announcements basically every week since April/May.
There are four Dems running in #IA01, two in #IA02 with a third likely to join soon, three in #IA03, and two in #IA04 with another possibly announcing later.

New post: Matthew P. Thornburg @thornburg.bsky.social looked at the #IA04 precinct-level data and concludes that Randy Feenstra’s perceived indifference on the CO2 pipeline offers an opening for rivals in Iowa's upcoming GOP primary for governor. #IAGov

#IA03 GOP Rep. Zach Nunn was trying to run for just about any office other than the one he currently holds in 2026.
First he wanted to move to redder #IA04. Then he floated running for #IAGov.
Now he's forced to run in a race he thinks gonna lose.

I mentioned on my radio show/podcast that I didn't see State Senator Lynn Evans raising the $$ he'd need to compete in an #IA04 primary.

Sure enough, he's ruling out that race now that two well-funded Rs are running.
