The Iowa Senate adjourned without any floor vote on eminent domain this year. Were you surprised there was no GOP rebellion like what we saw near the end of the 2025 session?
ICYMI last week: Iowa House Republicans gave final approval to what State Rep. Austin Baeth (a medical doctor) called a “pro-cancer” bill.
About that #IASen poll: Without knowing how the questions were worded, I would be very cautious about interpreting GBAO's poll findings on Hinson/Turek and Hinson/Wahls. See the polling memo here: www.bleedingheartland.com/static/media... A segment from the latest "KHOI's Capitol Week":
