Krusty reports that Iverson is bailing on the re-elect. Rumors of that started as soon as the Lundby coup d'etat happened.
Krusty asks:
I’m interested to know what Iverson will do with the $129,000 he has in his campaign account.
And LOTS of that money is from Iowans for Tax Relief...
Not uncommon for deposed people - ousted chairs, the loser in a leadership contest, etc. - to bail completely soon therafter.
Semi-related from the inbox:
US Senator Russ Feingold announced today that Iowa State Senate Candidate Rich Olive has won the Pick a Progressive Patriot: Iowa online voting event. Olive is challenging former Iowa Senate Republican Majority Leader Stewart Iverson to represent Iowa’s 5th Senate District.
Not any more, upgrade this now open seat race...
The announcement follows a week of online voting in this, the third “Pick a Progressive Patriot” event.
The “Pick a Progressive Patriots: Iowa” event was the first time candidates for state office were featured for an online Progressive Patriots Fund vote. As with past events, the Progressive Patriots Fund will financially support Olive – sending him a $5,000 check for his growing campaign. Feingold also said that the Progressive Patriots Fund will contribute smaller amounts to the five other featured candidates.
“I’m happy to support Rich Olive’s campaign for State Senate. Rich has a great opportunity to help the Democrats break the tie in the Iowa State Senate and move that body out of a state of partisan deadlock and back to dealing with the issues facing all Iowans,” Feingold said. “I’m happy to contribute $5,000 to his campaign and am excited to include him in our growing list of Progressive Patriots.”
