Thanks Bob, impressive introduction to Julie. Her breakdown of issues got my attention. We also need problem solving skills, Julie seems to have that skill set. Like having more Democrats on ticket as the Republicans will not offer anything that will address big concerns as they are all MAGA.
She perfectly embraces Harken's mantra: "women's reproductive health; no public money for religious schools; no eminent domain for private enterprise". She adds "clean water" and "cancer rates", both code to take on (and stir up!) Big Ag and the Farm Bureau. Certainly all need attention and might even work. Thank you for the inspiring interview.
As an Iowan, and as a group process facilitator, I have learned that when you ask people for their wisdom and you really listen, they think YOU are wise -- and also you become more wise. There are very few politicians who understand that, and I am a strong supporter of them. Of course, it also means that when you really listen, you need to follow up on what you have heard!If Julie gets on the ballot, I will vote for her.
I thought I was past the stage of wanting to be involved in politics until I see how far Iowa has slipped. I'm not sure why. One thing might be failure to find good sources of information about what is actually going on and the other is fewer people have the nerve to speak out as we did at an earlier time.I try to keep myself calm as I know this has been happening throughout history and I would not be here today without the hidden leaders of the past that changed history again and again.
Damned good interview, Bob. I learned a lot about Julie Stauch.

Thank heavens!!! Hope for Iowa!!!!! This is great news!!!!
Yep! I’ve blogged on several topics Ypu bring up. Substack is a great way to communicate with other journalists and writers, for example. 🌺
Great article Bob.
Substack is a great source for factual news, as well as the Iowa Writers Collaborative.

I'm glad she mentioned clean water. On that issue alone she gets my vote.
(I suspect the FB has already earmarked $millions to gaslight Iowans on our water situation.)
I agree 👍👍👍👍

Wow! Great interview, Bob. I just read in the Register that Eddie Andrews has entered the Governor's race. Lots of announcements this week.
Great. Some stirring in the D's.
