Are Republicans getting worried about the Iowa secretary of agriculture race? A national GOP group gave Mike Naig's campaign $150K this year—about three-quarters of his total fundraising haul. Democrat Chris Jones is making this election a referendum on water quality in Iowa.

On Thursday I asked Iowa House Speaker Pat Grassley about House pages stuffing campaign mailers for GOP State Rep Jennifer Smith. ICYMI, @zacharyos.bsky.social's reporting on this (illegal) practice: iowastartingline.com/2026/04/22/i... #ialegis

On Tuesday I asked Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate what assurances he can give that naturalized citizens won't be racially or ethnically profiled when they try to vote this year.

Iowa House and Senate Republicans are still far apart on property tax reform. One of the sticking points is whether to raise taxes on apartment buildings. From the latest "Iowa Down Ballot" podcast:

A lot to unpack with Ashley Hinson's first TV ad of the 2026 campaign. (from "KHOI's Capitol Week") #IASen

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?

On Thursday I asked Iowa Senate Majority Leader Mike Klimesh what's hanging up a bill that would make animal torture a felony offense in Iowa. (The House approved the bill unanimously more than a month ago.) #ialegis

Eye-opening: State Senator Janet Petersen @janet4iowa.bsky.social revealed last Wednesday that Iowa now has only one investigator looking into student abuse, after that was moved from the Dept of Education to HHS. Also, "student abuse" is defined in a way that doesn't cover many types of abuse.

Nate Willems wants to reorient the Iowa Attorney General's office to work for Iowans. (Brenna Bird has spent a lot of time and resources on federal lawsuits challenging Biden policies or defending Trump policies)

Great answers from Vincent Kompany, speaking to Gabriel Clarke: "You only have two ways, the first one is to go full and the second is to retreat fully, the in-between doesn't work against that level of player, against our level of players." Same again next week? "More, even more."

Just because Pam Bondi was fired doesn’t excuse her from accountability for her role in the Epstein file coverup. There is still a bipartisan subpoena to have her testify in front of Congress, and she must comply so the American people can get the truth.
