Yesterday I launched iavoterguide.org. It's a non-partisan guide to Iowa's 2026 races.
It includes every major race on the ballot like Governor, Senate, all 4 U.S. House districts, and every statewide office.
For Iowa's U.S. Senate race, Iowa as a whole swung on average +16.5 in favor of Democrats. Lyon county was on the bottom end of that average with +8.2 Dem, while Wapello county shifted a huge +25.2 Dem. I imagine the shift was even more dramatic for the governor race.

Tonight’s outcome isn’t about placing faith in Democrats or socialist principles; it’s about holding Republicans accountable for betraying their promises.
All Republicans had to do was:
1. put Americans First
2. not start another war
3. prosecute sex traffickers
Iowans saw through @ZachLahn's deceptive campaign and made their voices heard.
Props to @RobSandIA for the great campaign.

WiFi not good at the Democratic victory party in Des Moines, but with Polk County mostly in, it's looking like a VERY good night for Iowa Democrats.
Rob Sand's margin in Polk is almost double what Fred Hubbell had in 2018 (he lost the governor's race by around 3 points). #IAGov
During the Iowa GOP primary back in June, I looked at Google Trends which showed Zach Lahn barely edging out Randy Feenstra in searches... This ended up matching the results of the primary. Now I want to look at the general election!
The final two down ballot races are Sec. of State and Treasurer.
Given republicans are much more likely to fill out Rs down ballot and because there are more registered Rs in Iowa, I think this gives ALL down ballot races an R lean.
Go vote and if you aren't caught up on each of the candidates, I encourage you to check out my voter guide! It'll give you easy factual side-by-side comparisons of each candidates in each race, including state congress races and judicial retention.

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.

People who think differently from each other think better when they think together.
Thanks @FoxNewsSunday for having me.

This is it - our 100th town hall of 2026.
Proud of every community visited, question answered, and mile put on the truck because Iowans deserve a governor who will show up and actually listen.
Thank you, Polk County! #TownHallTour2026
