👀Oh look, the @IADeptofEd is going against their own Science Standards Revision Team and moving to eliminate references to climate change & biological evolution in science classes. SPEAK UP AGAINST THIS NOW with a public comment: surveymonkey.com/r/GHS2RYC. littlevillagemag.com/climate…

Correct. When Iowa Republicans pass policies against what a majority of Iowans want, those Iowans should hold them accountable at the ballot box. Your chance to do that ends tomorrow at 8 p.m. Vote!

Monday GOTV shirt: All you need is love. I believe in the power of community & standing up for each other. I believe in the politics of hope, not the politics of fear & division. Please join me in voting for hope & community. Thanks to my manager Tess for having my back! 💙 – at Ankeny, IA

Yes! Iowans, you can still vote early today! For #HD42 voters, the Polk County Election Office is at 120 2nd Avenue, Des Moines.
Bleeding Heartland@LauraRBelin4 Nov 2024
All 99 Iowa county auditors' offices are open today for voting. Bring your driver's license or non-operator ID. If you need to register in Iowa for the first time or have moved since last time you voted, bring proof of address (e.g. lease, utility bill, paycheck, bank statement).

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."

Thank you @IowaPublicRadio for the opportunity to share my goals for the next legislative session! #HD42 iowapublicradio.org/politica…

Democrat Heather Matson runs for reelection in the Iowa House against Republican Heather Stephenson

Election Day is about more than the White House and Congress. Voters will also have their say on who serves in the Iowa Legislature.

I'm not sure people are grasping the full implication of what he's saying here: that to avoid family separation in mass deportation, Trump would also remove millions of US citizen children-a prospect that takes his deportation plan much deeper into the realm of ethnic cleansing
Ronald Brownstein@RonBrownstein28 Oct 2024
There are about 4 million Latino US citizen children w/at least one undocumented parent. So Homan is talking about deporting millions of US citizens in the name of family preservation-while Trump is counting on (& on track for) unprecedented support from Latinos, especially men

My focus is on ensuring that no matter where you live in Iowa, you have economic security & opportunity. BOTH are important because life is about more than surviving; it's about thriving. Let's keep working together for the policies that will help Iowans get ahead. #HD42 #Ankeny

GOTV in the fast-growing Des Moines suburb of Ankeny is important not only for the #IA03 race. Two #Iowa House Democrats are running for re-election in targeted districts (Molly Buck @MollyforAnkeny in HD-41 and Heather Matson @MatsonForHouse in HD-42). #ialegis

When we tell you abortion bans will kill women, it's not hyperbole. Amber's story is heartbreaking and I urge you to read it. Elections have consequences. Vote to protect bodily autonomy, reproductive freedom, and access to safe medical care.
