Ten years of one party control has left our rural communities with less access to care & in a constant fight to keep clinics open. Zach Lahn supports the cuts that put us in this spot. He won't have to live with the consequences because he can just fly back to Kansas, but Iowans will suffer.

In literally the last election, @ZachLahn asked to have his Iowa ballot mailed to him in Kansas?!
Bleeding Heartland@LauraRBelinOct 25
Not the main point of this article, but wow: "Mr. Lahn cast an Iowa ballot in the 2024 general election. But voting records that have not previously been reported show he requested that his ballot be mailed to him — in Kansas." I did not think to check that!

Zach Lahn re-registered to vote in Iowa in Oct 2024 — just in time to qualify to run for governor in 2026. Lahn cast an Iowa ballot in 2024. But previously unreported voting records show he requested it be mailed to him — in Kansas. W/ @bethreinhard nytimes.com/2026/10/25/us/po…

An Iowa Republican’s Unusual Connection to the Kochs (and Kansas)

In his campaign for governor, Zach Lahn has pitched himself as a self-made businessman. His backstory is more complicated.

OBAMA: Some people say Abdul didn’t like some of the things you did as president. So Abdul didn't agree with some things. You know who else doesn't agree with everything I do. Michelle Obama.

Joe likes to lie about my values and my record to voters, but here’s what he really thinks about me. I've dedicated my life to my faith and overcoming difference. I'll do the same in Congress.

Alaskans don’t need any help voting for their preferred candidates, and the State of Alaska has already handled this by clearly distinguishing the candidates on this year’s ballot. The Department of Justice should never have filed this lawsuit. apnews.com/article/alaska-se…

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.

Due to the recent attack ads in Ohio by the Ramaswamy campaign I am donating the maximum allowable by law to Amy Acton. I’m a life long Republican I don’t know @amyactonoh or her policies and frankly I don’t care. Some things are bigger than party.

Neil Bush—brother of one President Bush & son of another President Bush—explains why he voted for @JamesTalarico. In part: “My vote was motivated by two things: deep concern about Ken Paxton's record and genuine admiration for the character & principles I see in James Talarico.”

Amy Acton's estranged mother lost custody of her children after her second husband was charged with rape and indicted by a grand jury. In court, Amy's mother stood by her husband instead of her twelve-year-old daughter. They haven't spoken since that day in court, nearly 50 years ago. Politics has become such a disappointing sport of outrage-fueled mud-slinging, personal attacks targeting families, and blatant lies designed to divide. Candidates should debate the issues and focus on convincing voters that their plans and leadership will make life better. That's what politics should be about: bringing people together. Stunts like today's attack ad against Dr. Acton are beneath anyone seeking to lead. nytimes.com/2026/10/20/us/po…

Attack Ad Featuring Candidate’s Mother Turns Ohio Governor’s Race Even Uglier

A Republican ad features Amy Acton’s estranged mother calling her daughter a liar. The two have not spoken since Dr. Acton’s mother backed her husband after his arrest on rape charges.

Pulled my wheelchair up steps and knocked doors today with Senator Tom Harkin in Ottumwa. I won my first race by 6 votes. I did it by knocking doors rain or shine, talking to voters, and listening. That’s how we’ll win this one too. Join us: Turek4Iowa.com

For 63 days, the bipartisan discharge petition that ultimately led to the release of the Epstein files was a single signature short. Ashley Hinson could have signed. She had every opportunity to buck her party leadership and sign the petition. She did not. Vote @turek4iowa.

I voted to release the Epstein files and have spent years working across the aisle to protect survivors of sexual abuse. Men like Epstein, who hurt children, they’ll have to answer to God. But men who lie about it to win an election, they’ll have to answer to you.

"Is this heaven? No, it’s Iowa." What a day at the Field of Dreams. One of my favorite movies, and a big Hawkeye victory! Field of Dreams has always been a movie about hope. Believing tomorrow can be better than today. That’s what this campaign is all about.
