Open races are oftentimes the most competitive. With no incumbents having an advantage, it’s anyone’s game.

We’ve got two major open races here in Iowa, and we’re strategizing how we can elect Democrats into these positions.

First: The Governor’s Race. When Kim Reynolds announced she wasn’t seeking reelection, our chances of electing a Democrat to replace the least popular Governor in the country became even greater. Whoever ends up with the Republican nomination will have to answer for a declining Iowa economy, lack of affordable and accessible healthcare, and underfunded and unsupported public education here in this state.

Second: IA-04. Congressman Randy Feenstra announced his candidacy for Governor (boo), leaving Iowa’s fourth district open to replace him (yay)!

IDP is always focused on how we can elect Democratic candidates to replace their Republican successors, and our chances are even better now that these races are wide open for the taking.

We’ve got an End-of-Quarter deadline coming up on Monday, and your donations help us support the Democrats who will be running for these seats. Will you chip in $10 to help us reach our goal before Monday's deadline?
