After tonight, it’s even clearer that the Senate should take the SAVE America Act and continue debating it until it passes

Repost if you agree

@Team_Sand You don't allow Republicans to come to your town halls.

Iowa’s unemployment rate stayed at 3.2% in June, while employers added 600 jobs statewide, according to Iowa Workforce Development. Story in the comments...

Iowa Democrats are constantly bashing “the rich” and “billionaires” for being the root of all societal problems. Anyone who dares to succeed in Iowa business is seen as someone who is upholding inequality. They push for higher taxes on high earners while calling out “corporate greed.” They paint successful people as evil, no matter what they do for a living. They cheer against tax breaks for business, and complain about data centers and Big Ag. They emphasize class warfare, and demand that the rich “pay their fair share.” It’s all a part of the playbook to stoke resentment among Iowans and rally the base. But apparently, all that fire and brimstone vanishes the second the rich guy has a “D” next to his name.

Enter Rob Sand, the Democratic candidate for governor whose family wealth makes him the ultimate walking contradiction. Sand’s in-laws, the Lauridsen family, built a massive global empire in health, nutrition, and food products, making them one of the richest families in the state of Iowa. However, you won’t hear a single peep of criticism from his party about this. There have certainly been no class-war attacks on how the Lauridsen’s even gained their mysterious wealth in the first place, which is even more hypocritical.

Instead, billionaires like Reid Hoffman, currently under investigation for his ties to Epstein, and Jonathan Soros, son of investor George Soros, funnel massive amounts of cash straight into his campaign without any pushback. Sand’s campaign has raised nearly $12 million across recent cycles, including over $7 million in 2024 from his family alone ($3 million from Christine, $4 million from Christine’s parents). That helped him haul in $8.6 million that year, crushing what the governor raised. Even in 2025, Sand raked in another $9.5 million. While he loves talking about small-dollar donations, the reality is that his political rise has been supercharged by his family millions that most Iowans couldn’t even imagine.

It’s pure hypocrisy that exposes Sand as just another elite politician acting like a populist. He acts like a down-to-earth Iowan prosecutor and auditor fighting for the little guy, but his path is paved by family money that dwarfs what regular folks could even dream of. Democrats overlook it because he’s “one of them,” but voters see the blatant double standard. If Sand’s wealthy in-laws weren’t bankrolling him to this degree, would he even be a serious candidate? Iowa deserves better than this selective outrage and bought-and-paid-for politics.

@owengreeno @iowasnewsnow And there is signs everywhere, saying stay a way.

@timberx111 @electionsjoe Lol,so you can't give their platform, and more democrats watch Fox over cnn or msnbc. You can't even give a reason why the Democratic Party is better than the Republican party. Remember Harris lost voters from every voter group, and she never talked about her platform.

[Tlbaldwin @Tlbaldwin2]

@timberx111 @electionsjoe Your middle school behavior isn't nothing. Tell me the platform of the Democratic party that isn't about creating victim and villain. Go ahead and tell me

[Tlbaldwin @Tlbaldwin2]

@melton4iowa At least she can get elected, unlike you.

[Tlbaldwin @Tlbaldwin2]

@rhiannonz28 @Jewelmama5 @ZachLahn @KimReynoldsIA There is no shit show going on, just in liberals heads. There is a reason we have no Democratic in power in Iowa. But nice try

[Tlbaldwin @Tlbaldwin2]

@Team_Sand Your people are harassing him and his children, and the police had to be involved. What is wrong with you.

[Tlbaldwin @Tlbaldwin2]

@Jewelmama5 @Mister_Wiskers @ZachLahn @KimReynoldsIA Show proof. Otherwise, you look foolish.

@Mister_Wiskers @Jewelmama5 @ZachLahn @KimReynoldsIA My name isn't Tammy. She keeps using it. She thinks it will upset me, but you're correct, California Minnesota and Illinois, is their perfect government

[Tlbaldwin @Tlbaldwin2]

@Jewelmama5 @ZachLahn @KimReynoldsIA Figure out why people won't vote for the Democratic party, it's not rocket science. Or keep failing to elect anyone from your party, I will tell you a secret if you choose to not address them,it's your party fault

BREAKING:
A new CBS poll shows Republican approval of Donald Trump jumping 5 points to 92.3%.

Are you among the 92.3%?

A. Huge Yes

B. No

[Tlbaldwin @Tlbaldwin2]

@against_kim @ZachLahn Trump won Iowa by 14 points, and I just saw over 90% of Republicans support Trump. Your opinion is of the minority in Iowa. Trump is mentioned, but not that he was a friend of Epstein, unlike Clinton and Gates. Every in his files is his dislike of Trump. But keep posting shit
