On "KHOI's Capitol Week," I put some context around Adam Steen's bizarre "Sharia law" comments from Monday. Audio and detailed written write-up here: laurabelin.substack.com/p/governors-...

Since Randy Feenstra doesn't want to debate the other Republicans running for governor, I asked @robsandia.bsky.social how many times he'd like to debate his GOP opponent. #Iowa #IAGov

From "KHOI's Capitol Week," my thoughts on @petebuttigieg.bsky.social endorsing @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social for #Iowa's Senate primary. The whole show (with lots more on the #IASen race) is available on podcast platforms.

The first negative TV ads in the GOP race for Iowa governor went up on the air last Wednesday. We talked about it on the "Iowa Down Ballot" podcast. #IAGOP #IAGov

That’s what Trump’s economy actually costs regular people while billionaires cash out. This is not normal. Don’t let them tell you it is. #WeCantAffordTrump #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Far-right groups can try all they want to create distractions, but they can't hide the human impact of kicking hundreds of thousands of working people in Colorado off their healthcare. I'll keep fighting for a fair tax and healthcare system that serves everyone, not just the wealthy few
