“Politics is oftentimes pretty stupid.” Iowa Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand gave a masterclass on how to dismantle an opponent…by leading with humanity, then letting the hard facts do the heavy lifting.
Watch Sand speak on his Republican opponent, Zach Lahn:
“He's a human being. Politics is oftentimes pretty stupid. I think that we can acknowledge that me and my opponent are human beings, and that everyone who runs for office should be willing to do that, because it's important... we don't need to demonize people, and we don't need to lie about them, either.”
“He has lived outside of Iowa for most of the last 20 years... voted in Kansas in 2018, and in 2020, and in 2022... registered to vote in Iowa in 2024, just in time to say that he was a resident to run for governor.”
“75 nights in Wichita, Kansas, to 51 nights in Belle Plaine, Iowa. Now, he can say what he wants about where he lives. I'm a numbers guy. The numbers are 75 there and 51 here.”
“There's 3.1 million people in this state, and I do not believe that we can solve those problems effectively with a guy who's going to mail it in from two states away half the time.”
It’s the result of how men have treated us for centuries. The consequences of their actions. funny how women setting standards is called misandry, but centuries of misogyny are called tradition.

When the Court overturned Roe, one thought kept running through my mind: Women of this generation were about to lose rights that previous generations had fought to secure.
Four years later, we have seen exactly what that looks like — chaos, confusion, fear. Women denied care. Doctors threatened for providing it.
But we have seen something else: The American people refuse to accept that this is the future.
These are difficult times, but our fight continues.
