Senator...hope Finkenouer wins. But, either the stupid shit Grassley has said about guns, abortion, and his part in January 6 will get him booted or it doesn't matter who we run against him.

We had county commissioner candidates running on platforms that had nothing to do with the office they are running for (choose 2 of 3).

Hopefully, in November big dem turnout and women turnout to get rid of that asshat Grassley and the B's miller-meeks

I think primaries are a chance to show the state parties how progressive (or not) the base is, and Dr. Hurst was the most progressive. But I will be happy if Admiral Franken wins, he has the best chance to be the strongest against Grassley.

Abby Finkenauer was a decent rep, but I lost some respect for her when she couldn't pull off a win against that dumb newsbunny Ashley Hinson.
