New post by Randy Evans: The Iowa Public Information Board's recent action raises a question: When does a lawful delay in providing public records become an unlawful one?

Populist theater takes center stage in Iowa as candidates trade blows over who is the 'real' Iowan. 🌐
Evidence: Grassroots authenticity, Elite backing and residency gaps, Populist branding

Zach Lahn on Trump's beef importation plan: "And I have no say over foreign policy whatsoever... He has a complicated job and I don't know all the details of it."

Lahn is running for governor in Iowa and can't even advocate for Iowa's cattlemen who are getting screwed. #IAGov

Reuters: "New Trump rules will make it harder for farmers to access US funds for energy projects"

Recalled 2024 presidential vote for Emerson's latest Iowa poll: 51.6% Trump, 41.6% Harris

Emerson's approval numbers for Trump are better than what we've seen in some other recent Iowa polls, but he's still underwater: 42.0% approve, 50.9% disapprove of the work he's doing. #IAGov #IASen

Another poll that weighted results to Iowa's registered voter file: 39.8% of respondents GOP, 31.2% Dem, 29% independent.

Even in 2022, when Iowa Dems had no statewide GOTV, an uncompetitive #IAGov race, and poor turnout, Dems made up 34% of voters. Should be higher this year w/strong field effort.

There are only 4 Qs on this questionnaire.

One of them includes this: "The HPV vaccine is cancer prevention. It prevents six types of cancer – including 90% of cervical cancers. Will you protect access to this cancer prevention method?" #IAGov

#OHGov Acton up 50-42
#IASen Hinson up 45-43
#IAGov Sand up 51-42

Asked for his thoughts on Trump’s signature policy that took an axe to Iowans’ safety net, Zach Lahn said: “I haven’t dug into all that.”

Iowans can’t afford Lahn’s careless approach to governance. #IAGov

From the latest Suffolk U poll of Iowa, released this morning:

#IAGov
Sand (D) 55%
Lahn (R) 43%

#IASen
Turek (D) 48%
Hinson (R) 44%

In late August, they had Sand up 48-44 and Hinson up 45-41. *If the trend is accurate*, the state has moved sharply toward Dems.

Rob Sand is right.... I don't think we're done talking about the Kansas issue.

#IAGov #IApolitics

I did not expect the best troll of Zach Lahn in the #IAGov race to come from Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly.

Zach Lahn: We have to vote in our local elections. We just have to.

Lahn must be talking about local elections in Kansas, because he wasn't registered to vote in Iowa till 2024. 👀 #IAGov

Zach Lahn melts down AGAIN over being called out for not living in Iowa. #IAGov

"Again he's attacking me..."

If elected #IAGov, Zach Lahn wants to BAN Iowans’ access to vaccines.

"You voted in Kansas in 2018 and in 2020 and in 2022. You registered to vote in Iowa less than two years ago."

The evidence is clear... Zach Lahn has spent nearly the last decade in Kansas — NOT Iowa. #IAGov

Kansan Zach Lahn gets smacked down for insulting Iowa public schools even after he claimed he'll be an "advocate for public schools." #IAGov

Zach Lahn, the candidate for Iowa governor, spent more time in Kansas than Iowa during the primary election and was barely eligible to run in Iowa. #IAGov

Zach Lahn once brought a handgun to the school he founded, where it was stolen. Now, he wants Iowa to allow guns on school property. #IAGov
