Register has story this AM about Rep. Kim Pearson (T-Altoona) looking for primary challenges to Insufficiently Pure Republicans. A handy checklist to where she may be looking can be found in the May vote on her Roe-Wade challenging Total Abortion Ban bill. Column on the right, ironically, is the Republican NO vote.
Yes: 24 Republicans Rep. Dwayne Alons Rep. Richard Anderson Rep. Mark Brandenburg (paired with Hanusa) Rep. Royd E. Chambers Rep. Betty R. DeBoef (paired with Klein) Rep. Cecil Dolecheck Rep. Joel Fry Rep. Pat Grassley (paired with Sweeney) Rep. Chris Hagenow Rep. Bob Hager Rep. Ron Jorgensen Rep. Jared Klein (paired with DeBoef) Rep. Kevin Koester Rep. Brian Moore Rep. Glen Massie Rep. Dan Muhlbauer (D) Rep. Kim Pearson Rep. Dawn Pettengill Rep. Walt Rogers Rep. Jason Schultz Rep. Tom Shaw (paired with Tjepkes) Rep. Jeff Smith Rep. Chuck Soderberg Rep. Annette Sweeney (paired with Grassley) Rep. Jeremy Taylor | No: 33 Republicans Rep. Rich Arnold Rep. Chip Baltimore Rep. Clel Baudler Rep. Josh Byrnes Rep. Peter Cownie Rep. Dave Deyoe Rep. Jack Drake Rep. Greg Forristall Rep. Mary Ann Hanusa (paired with Brandenburg) Rep. Dave Heaton Rep. Lee Hein Rep. Erik Helland Rep. Lance Horbach (retiring) Rep. Stewart Iverson Rep. Jeff Kaufmann Rep. Mark Lofgren Rep. Steven Lukan Rep. Linda Miller Rep. Steven Olson Rep. Kraig Paulsen Rep. Ross Paustian Rep. Scott Raecker Rep. Dan Rasmussen Rep. Henry Rayhons Rep. Thomas Sands Rep. Dave Tjepkes (pair with Shaw) Rep. Linda Upmeyer Rep. Jim Van Engelenhoven (retiring) Rep. Guy Vander Linden Rep. Nick Wagner Rep. Matt Windschitl Rep. Gary Worthan |
Also noted: Third Democrat to announce in House 36 is Marti Anderson, former director of the Crime Victim Assistance Division of the Attorney General’s Office in the Iowa Department of Justice. Spouse alert: married to Bob Brammer, longtime spokesperson at AG's office. Between the two, that Tom Miller endorsement should be forthcoming. But now that there are three, we're in that zone where the 35% requirement for a nomination matters. If no one gets it, the Dems go to convention. All the more reason to stay in your own party's caucus, Beaverdale...
