Friend,
Iowa has some of the slowest broadband speeds in the country. It's an issue that disproportionately affects rural communities and it's something our opponent Kim Reynolds talks a lot about. Here's what she said back in May:
"I just joined 12 other states to sue Joe Biden for his overreaching, unconstitutional stimulus bill that does NOTHING but bail out blue states."
Apparently as of yesterday, she changed her tune:
|
Gov. Kim Reynolds @IAGovernor |
|
Today I announced additional grant opportunities for rural broadband access totaling $200 million. |
|

That's right, friend: the federal government allocated $200 million to expand rural broadband in Iowa and now Kim Reynolds is taking credit for it, while continuing to bash President Biden.
Make no mistake, Kim Reynolds is trying to have her cake and eat it too. That's why we need to remind Iowans who is actually looking out for working families:
Can you chip in $3 so we can get the word out about Reynolds' hypocrisy to more undecided voters? Anything you give will go straight toward making sure they know about the work Democrats -- including Ras Smith -- are doing on this important issue.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Ras serves as a member of the Iowa House Information Technology Committee and has had significant challenges accessing satellite internet on his farm. He knows how broadband access affects rural communities, farms, and small businesses firsthand -- so
you won't find him playing politics with this issue.
Ras Smith is running to replace Kim Reynolds. Chip in $3 to help today >>
Thanks in advance,
Team Ras
