<[link removed]>Hi John --



Rob Sand is running for Governor of Iowa as a Democrat. But he isn’t following the Democratic Party rule book:

“I reject pretty much all labels, including the word moderate. I’m pretty issue-based and I’m independent-minded. I think what we need to do is actually end the system of ‘the lesser of two evils.’ It’s not necessarily so all the answers belong to any one place, it’s just to actually free people up.” 



Sand says he’s building his campaign around the simple notion that Iowans of all walks of life have more in common than the partisans who wake up every morning with new ideas about how to divide us. Polls are showing a competitive match-up, and he is turning heads well beyond the Hawkeye state. See national coverage in the NY Times <[link removed]>, Wall St Journal <[link removed]> and The Atlantic <[link removed]>.

On Thursday September 25th at 2:30pm ET, Open Primaries President John Opdycke will talk with Rob about how he’s building a new kind of political campaign, his longtime support for open primaries and political reform, and why an “independent attitude” is crucial to moving the country forward.
