@smomwetgobam That system's why it's not an apples to apples comparison to Sand's vote totals. The 2 winning GOP supervisor candidates received 2,979 and 2,693 votes. A total of 13,584 votes were cast for county supervisor, compared to just 4,528 for state auditor in Crawford.
Rob Sand’s Iowa economic claims deserve a fact-check.
✅ The 48th in personal income growth figure is real BEA data — Iowa has genuine challenges.
❌ But his GDP ranking is outdated. BEA revised Iowa’s 2024 growth ranking from 49th to 27th. Preliminary numbers aren’t the final word.
❌ Iowa is NOT #1 in cancer. We have the fastest-growing rate of new diagnoses and the 2nd highest incidence — serious concerns worth addressing. But cancer mortality in Iowa is actually trending DOWN. That context matters.
Iowa’s economy deserves honest debate. But Iowans deserve accurate data — not cherry-picked stats designed to paint the worst possible picture.
LOSER: Bob Vander Plaats
Another election.
Another endorsement.
Another loss.
At some point, the self-appointed kingmakers need to explain where all this kingmaking is happening.

Case could easily be made that not running up the margins more in his own district, the Fourth, made the difference. Winning your home county (Sioux), that you've lived in all your life and served as a state legislator and county treasurer for, by only six points is tough.
Teams have been very open about their gameplan being to get the ball out of Caitlin's hands & now it's to attack her in isolation
Stephanie White has been very vocal her gameplan is also to take the ball out of CCs hands & it seems she wants to let her guard 1v1 in isolation
.@CaitlinClark22 it doesn’t have to be like this. You have the power. You know what needs to be done. Stop letting them f your legacy. Your coach said your team is faster w/someone else @ PG1. What else do you need to see? They want to kill what makes you great AND IT’S BAD BBALL
In his campaign for his first, four-year term, Prouty is pointing to his past service and experience running the sheriff's office. In his campaign, Helm points to his law enforcement experience spanning more than a decade.

The size of this year's GOP primary for governor is unprecedented in the modern era of Iowa politics. And is something of an uncertain year for the GOP with a viable challenger in Democrat Rob Sand.

Went to press before the Trump news but still plenty worth noting from my chats with 4 of the 5 GOP candidates for governor. One of them? Feenstra pretty firmly committed to debating Sand. Another? I asked Steen about his "good and evil" talk and whether Rob Sand was "evil."
This is a devastating ad against @RandyFeenstra running now in Des Moines and Sioux City. But it’s all true so it’s deserved. Just an inexcusable betrayal of Iowans and Americans.

Totally normal late night comedy program where a political party is mourning its loss by posting photos of all of the candidates the late night comedy program promoted for free
I continue to maintain the Fever would be a better team without Mitchell and Caitlin's game would improve immensely not having to put up with Mitchell's ballhogging play. Let Mitchell walk after this year, use some savings for a quality big to back up Boston
