BREAKING: Stunning new polling from Fox News shows Democrat Sherrod Brown ahead of his Republican opponent Jon Husted in Ohio. Republicans should be freaking out about this one.
Iowa’s new Republican nominee for governor Zach Lahn campaigned as an outsider farmer fighting the political establishment. But before he was “Iowa First,” he was a Koch-connected political operative who barely met Iowa’s residency requirement to run. https://t.co/LtbAJznH2P
@LauraRBelin After ignoring Iowa for several cycles, apparently “national” reporters are facing a steep learning curve in their (sometimes feeble) attempts to understand our state.
NEW - As doubts swirl about Maine, Dems look to Iowa for another Senate path.
Josh Turek, the DC fav, won big last night w/ help from $10M in outside spending.

.@ZachLahn is a political operative and Kansas carpetbagger who can’t even commit to living in Iowa. He’s entering the general election on the back foot after a nasty primary that forced him to burn through his cash and tore his party apart. #IAGov
Statement from @iowademocrats:
It will be interesting to get the final numbers for turnout statewide. In Linn County, it was 37.05% for Dems and 30.59% for Repubs. https://t.co/DPceJnhhez
As a hospital chaplain, a parish pastor, a food pantry coordinator, and a State Senator, I’ve brought people together to help our neighbors. That's why I know we can flip this seat and lower costs, take on Washington corruption, and make health care affordable for Iowa families.
If your candidate for governor didn’t win the GOP nomination tonight, you are welcome here. Iowans deserve a leader who lives in Iowa, who has worked for Iowans rather than for insiders, and someone that is committed to serving Iowa families. We already have more GOP donors than the GOP nominee. Join us. All Iowans - Democrats, Republicans and independents - are all welcome.
