Embarrassing results for two-time statewide loser @JohnJamesMI

[Patrick Rynard @patrynard]

Does this look like the resume of a ""farmer" / "businessman"? Who does political operative Zach Lahn think he's going to fool?

Major warning signs for John James and Tom Tiffany’s gubernatorial campaigns: voters are rejecting GOP members of Congress after they voted to raise costs and cut health care.

Just ask Randy Feenstra...

Iowa Starting Line details "there’s a problem at the center of his outsider narrative" for Zach Lahn:

"years on the campaign trail"

"got his big break with AFP"

"Koch-connected political operative"

"co-founded a Koch-funded private school in Kansas"

We made universal free breakfast a reality for 1.7 million students across Pennsylvania — because every one of our kids should start their day with a full stomach.

It may not be as cool as banning homework, but it's pretty close.

Watch our first ad of this general election:

What Iowans are reading about @ZachLahn on day 1 of the general election:

“He was a Koch-connected political operative who blocked Medicaid expansion in Montana, co-founded a Koch-funded private school in Kansas, and barely met Iowa’s residency requirement to run.” #IAGov

[Zachary Oren Smith @ZacharyOS]

Zach Lahn won Iowa's Republican governor primary as an outsider. But I've been digging around and found a long history managing campaigns, staffing politicians.

A look at his record. https://t.co/VpjlcusufC

[Team Sand @Team_Sand]

How will he do that from Kansas?

[Sam Newton @SamNewton]

Rob Sand is announcing his 100 town hall tour and just did an interview with Fox News.

Zach Lahn is spending the first day of the general election doing damage control after lying about wanting to run for congress (or is calling Ashley Hinson a liar).

[Zach Lahn @ZachLahn]

Not true.

I was asked if I would be interested in running for congress by a friend. Had some discussions, as my wife encouraged me to do so, and told them I wasn’t interested in being in Washington DC, just like I said in the barn talk interview.

That experience was instrumental however in me deciding now was the time to run for governor.

These lies just won’t work.

[Matt Donnell @matthewjdonnell]

.@RobSandIA to FOX on how he plans to win as a Democrat in a state Trump took by 13% in ‘24:

“I think Iowans know me and they trust me… and they know that I'm not in the bag for anybody.”

[Terra Hernandez @terralhernandez]

Wait, you mean a Kansas carpetbagger and career political operative who’s lied to Iowans since the start of his campaign lied about only wanting to run for governor? Shocker.

@ZachLahn is just another slimy political operative looking to climb the political ladder. #IAGov

[Patrick Rynard @patrynard]

For those asking "Who is Zach Lahn?" this article explores his actual background beyond his campaign trail rhetoric: https://t.co/bNH5CM5bpZ

[Rob Sand @RobSandIA]

It's the first day of the general election, and what are we doing?

We're sharing our full 100 town hall tour schedule – well in advance – so you know when I'll be in your neighborhood this year.

Democrats, Republicans, and independents are all welcome.

[Sam Newton @SamNewton]

In the last race for governor in New Mexico, national Republicans talked a huge game and spent millions.

This year, Deb Haaland got more votes in her primary than all of the GOP candidates combined.

[Emma O’Brien @emmaobrien1496]

On day one of the general election, @RobSandIA announces his 100 Town Hall Tour schedule for this year - with a minimum of 2 weeks' notice - and a policy requiring elected officials to do town halls to get on the ballot. Read more here 👇#IAGov https://t.co/QVp2bAgobZ
