Some in New Hampshire have expressed concerns about our new process. That is their right. It is the job of the New Hampshire SoS to do what is best for NH. It is my job to do what is best for Iowa. As the nominating calendar remains in flux, that is what I will continue to do.

That’s why I am so disappointed the Iowa GOP ended decades of bipartisanship this week by dropping a bill dictating how Iowa Democrats hold our own caucuses. No one at IDP was consulted before House Republicans took this misguided and unprecedented step.

I am committed to holding the most inclusive & accessible caucuses ever. We haven’t posted even our next steps for public comment, but folks who work the third shift, people living with a disability & parents of small children should have a voice via mail-in option.

Should we be worried that the person in charge of the Iowa National Guard doesn't understand the concept of military readiness?
Does object to the other NINE required vaccines or additional EIGHT vaccines required for certain deployments/occupations?
