Description

Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks began with news from Washington, DC: the Trump administration's retreat on freezing K-12 education funds, U.S. House turmoil over the Epstein files, and work that may cut into the Senate's long summer break. They discussed two new Congressional candidates in IA-04 and one in IA-02; Senate campaign news related to Joni Ernst, Zach Wahls, Josh Turek, and Nathan Sage; gubernatorial campaign news related to Randy Feenstra, Brad Sherman, CO2 pipeline politics, Rob Sand, and Julie Stauch. Other topics covered: the first ad for the Iowa Senate district 1 special election, Governor Kim Reynolds' low approval rating, and Laura's deep dive on why Iowa finally enacted an anti-SLAPP law.
