NO KINGS protests in unlikely places in Iowa

I am guessing farmers are getting really pissed and so are regular citizens. Hope it can translate into some victories next year.

Places like: Sac City, Algona, Clarinda, Crestn, Red Oak,Spirit Lake, New Hampton (isn't that Chuckles home town?), Independence as examples. There has been about ten new ones from when I last looked a few days ago:

Go Iowa - maybe there is hope for you yet!

1. Grassley is from New Hartford. New Hampton is about 50 miles north of New Hartford.

New Hampton was our arch rival growing up.

Benton County, VERY red, but we're getting out there.

We thought about going to one of the bigger ones, but we feel like we need to show that we are here and we're not giving up.

9. I saw a grain truck driver give thumbs up in Shenandoah. Too few farmers speaking out IMHO
