So here is one bright light.

Josh Turek won his house seat! This is a District that was won by Trump. The Iowa GOP and NRA spent tons of money trying to defeat Josh. They had paid canvassers while Josh had one paid campaign manager who worked her ass off and a lot of incredible volunteers. Sadly, the Iowa Democratic Party did f*** all to help.

Congratulations to Josh!

2. Carter Lake and part of Council Bluffs.

His opponent is a Mega Maga.

3. A little bit off course, but I don't think Iowa should be the first state in the presidential

election campaign. In fact I don't think any red state should be. These red states need to be financially starved until they realize how their votes affects the lives of all of us.

4. The problem with what you say is

That we're not all backwards rubes. And by "financially starving" us, your screwing us as well.

5. I completely understand. My suggestion is intended to deprive Iowa and other red states

where the presidential countdown starts of money obtained through the tourists, media, etc. who are involved. My suggestion is also intended to reduce the status given to these states.

I live in AZ -- home to Gosar, Lesko, Biggs, and others and would want this suggestion to apply here, as well.
