My next chapter: Starting on April 20 I’ll be a MMJ for KGAN (@iowasnewsnow) in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. My last day with WPRI-TV is Sunday, April 5. These last two years have been a blast, and I’m excited to tell the stories of Eastern Iowa. “The dream continues.”

Snuck an RI reference in during this interview too 😂 I mentioned @KenBlockRI among the independents gaining traction around the country during a portion about which way @Dave_Bushaw leans politically.
Just finished a Beyond the Podium interview for @iowasnewsnow with Independent candidate for #IA02 @Dave_Bushaw. We covered a lot of topics ranging from the Iran War to why he's running as an independent to his support for uncapping the U.S. House of Representatives.

Same name candidates? Has Alaska been studying up on Federal Hill in the 1970's, 1980's?

Senate President Pro Tempore Chuck Grassley (R-IA) told @costareports he's optimistic that Republicans are "going to do real well" in the midterm elections. "I think most Iowans would resent anybody that thinks socialism is better than our form of government," he said Thursday, citing a "trend towards socialism in the Democratic Party."

Response from #IA02 GOP nominee @joemitchelliowa to this video circulating ⬇️ (they provided this to any outlet that asked yesterday and was in the Daily Mail article.)
WATCH: Resurfaced video shows @joemitchelliowa on a vulgar, racist rant:

I recently learned there will possibly be two Gen Z GOP members of Congress: @joemitchelliowa in #IA02 and @MikeAlfonsoWI in #WI07. I’m counting Mitchell as the first in the event both win since his primary came first. But Alfonso is younger.
When Iowa sends Joe Mitchell to Washington, he'll be the youngest Republican in Congress. As a congressman born in the Gen Z-era, Joe Mitchell will cut red tape and explore ways to make housing more affordable for young Iowa families.

At this point it makes more sense to get a gaming PC 🥲

Anticipating Rick and I will only earn a combined 3% is wild. I want to see the questions asked to participants.

I think this is the first #IA02 poll that’s independent. Has @Lindsay4Iowa (D) up by 3 against @joemitchelliowa (R)
