Iowa used to be one of the best education states in the country. Now we’re ranked 27th. The bigger question isn’t whether that’s “good” or “bad.” It’s how a state that used to lead the nation became average. 👀 #IowaNews #IowaPolitics #Education #PublicSchools #Iowa

Changing your mind is hard. Changing your mind when it costs you relationships? That’s even harder. For anyone quietly questioning what they’ve always been told, I hope you never stop being curious. ❤️ #IowaNews #Politics #CriticalThinking #PersonalGrowth #Perspective

Trump’s endorsement of Randy Feenstra read like a biography. A week later, Feenstra loses and suddenly he’s apparently “the man from Georgia.” Politics is weird. Iowa politics is weirder. 🍿 #IowaNews #IowaPolitics #RandyFeenstra #DonaldTrump #IAGov2026

Asking Iowa candidates the tough questions at the Iowa Democratic Party State Convention ☺️ #IowaNews #iowapolitics #iowademocrats #politicstiktok

The guy in charge of preventing lottery fraud was committing lottery fraud. Turns out accountability matters more than “just trust us.” Iowa deserves leaders willing to ask uncomfortable questions and follow the facts wherever they lead. #IowaNews #RobSand #IowaPolitics #Accountability #IAGov2026

Bird Watching Episode 5 🐦 For more than a year, Iowa paused reimbursement for emergency contraception provided to sexual assault survivors while the Attorney General’s office conducted a review. #IowaNews #BrennaBird #IowaPolitics #CrimeVictims #BirdWatching

One of Iowa’s most outspoken water quality advocates is headed to the general election for Secretary of Agriculture. This race could end up being about a lot more than farming. 🌽💧 #IowaNews #IowaPolitics #WaterQuality #IowaAgriculture #Election2026

Just taking a quick break from editing to appreciate how absolutely wild this weekend was. Grateful for the opportunity, grateful for the people who gave me a chance, and grateful that growth usually starts with being a little uncomfortable. ❤️ #IowaNews #IowaPolitics #IowaDemocrats #ContentCreator

What happens on Iowa’s land doesn’t always stay there. 🌽💧 Our land. Our water. Our health. #CommonSourcePartner #IowaWater #CleanWater #WaterQuality #IowaNews

I asked Adam Peters what he thinks will surprise Iowa voters this election cycle. His answer? Iowa turns blue, Rob Sand becomes governor, Josh Turek heads to the Senate, and Christina Bohannan wins. 👀 #IowaNews #IowaPolitics #RobSand #JoshTurek #ChristinaBohannan

Ashley Hinson got a one-star review from a fellow Republican. ⭐️🌽 Former GOP primary opponent Jim Carlin says he won’t endorse her, arguing a Republican label alone isn’t enough. Iowa politics remains committed to making things weird. #IowaNews #IowaPolitics #AshleyHinson #JimCarlin #IASenate

Court records are putting Zach Lahn’s LG pick under a microscope. 👀 #IowaNews #IowaPolitics #Iowa #Election2026 #RobSand

Lower property taxes? Sign me up. 🏡 But how are we replacing that revenue? Show us the math. #IowaPolitics #ZachLahn #PropertyTaxes #IowaNews #IowaGovernor

I asked Iowa Secretary of State candidate Ryan Peterman what election myth he’s most tired of hearing🥱 Let’s just say his answer involved data… not Facebook comment sections🤭🤭 #IowaNews #IowaPolitics #ElectionIntegrity #VoteIowa #SecretaryOfState

$258 million. That’s how much Iowa taxpayers spent on students already attending private school before vouchers existed. That’s also 78% of all voucher spending this year. 👀 #IowaNews #IowaPolitics #RobSand #SchoolVouchers #EducationSavingsAccounts

“What has 10 years of Republican control done to Iowa?” Former Iowa Senate Majority Leader Michael Gronstal didn’t hesitate. He says Iowa has become less welcoming to immigrants and less inclusive than the state he remembers leading. #IowaNews #IowaPolitics #IowaLegislature #Immigration #Iowa

I bought water test strips and decided to become an inconvenience. Welcome to TARA-ble Water Testing. #IowaNews #WaterQuality #Iowa #IowaWater #CleanWater

“It’s just a tax credit” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Good jobs matter. So do the terms taxpayers are getting. 👀 Part 2. #IowaNews #SteelMill #IowaPolitics #TaxCredits #GovernmentAccountability
