People thought this was my Halloween costume when it was in fact my election day fit.
When people text me "what are you hearing, what are you seeing" on Election Day

Release your donations and prove it.
Iowa Republicans periodically try to discredit my work because I am transparent about my views. To be clear: I do not coordinate coverage with or accept any payment from any Iowa elected official, candidate, campaign, PAC, or any paid staffer or consultant on any Iowa campaign.

At a conference in Croatia right now I am approached by an American politico.... We get talking about Iowa. He says is that scammy social conservative snake oil salesman still around?

Calling the #IAGov race a "toss-up" is a mistake. Between the @IowaGOP registration lead and Sand’s last race against a total unknown opponent, the data favors a Republican victory. We’re putting in the work to keep Iowa red. 🚩 #IAPolitics thehill.com/homenews/campaig…

Shout out to the @IowaSOS office. That's a lot of signatures to go through.
Update. He will be on there. Stand by for new list from SOS.

Curiously, that logic never applies to the Second Amendment. You need a photo ID to exercise your right to purchase a firearm—a requirement the Left champions as "common-sense safety."
Replying to @DMRegister
The Register shouldn't print such nonsense without a fact check. For example: - Airplane tickets, etc., are not constitutional rights - "Illegals" voting is effectively a myth (see next post) - All voter ID bills limit IDs to specific forms many lack. SAVE turns that to 11. 1/

Unless nutters like this concede that requiring an ID to buy a gun is an "unjust and racist barrier" to a constitutional right, their case against voter ID is meaningless. You can't claim a requirement is "suppression" at the polling place but "safety" at the gun store

“Voter ID yet another thing Iowa does better than Minnesota” When I served in the State Senate, I voted to enact Voter ID. While Minnesota Liberals don’t believe in voter ID, Iowans are proud that our state takes election integrity seriously! desmoinesregister.com/story/…

Tell us how many nomination signatures you need to get on the ballot.
Tell me, “Iowa is in play for Dems” without telling me…. Anyway, for those in the back, IOWA IS IN PLAY. The congressional districts, US Senate, state wide seats, local seats, & obviously you can see from the bed wetting of the Iowa House & Senate GOP, the Governor.

“Oh my god… I have no words.” Listen to the emotional moment this year’s laureate Maria Corina Machado finds out she has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Kristian Berg Harpviken, Director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, shared the news with her directly before it was announced to the world. #NobelPrize #NobelPeacePrize

I’m all in. I’m running for the United States Senate to fight alongside President Trump and deliver on the America First agenda. From securing our border and deporting illegal aliens, to keeping men out of girl’s sports and cutting taxes for working families, I will fight every day for Iowans and our conservative values. President Trump is restoring the American Dream but our work isn’t over yet. The Left will do anything and everything to resurrect their out-of-touch agenda and dismantle our progress. As Iowa’s next Senator, I will stop at nothing to Make America Great!

I'll wager a dollar that @DanielBice has some lame excuse like It's not his fault because he's bad at his job.
“Bradley didn’t respond”? #PantsOnFire This is why public confidence in the mainstream media has plummeted.

🧵showing once again that @RobSandIA is either an incompetent lawyer or using the office for partisan gain. Or both. Btw, Rob Sand lost 7-0 to @AlanOstergren the last time they were at the Iowa Supreme Court. Looks like Rob is headed for another L.
Absolutely wild story coming out of some Iowa Supreme Court filings last week. @robsandia is in a fight with @AGIowa's office over a brief in litigation about the auditor's effort to get records from the @cityofdavenport. The auditor wants the city's communications with its atty

Reading scores at one Baltimore school, 628 students: -71 tested at a Kindergarten level. -88 at a 1st grade level. -45 at a 2nd grade level. 32% at or below 2nd grade reading level. But not an elementary school…It’s a HIGH SCHOOL. The school unions should be ashamed!
