I don't know what our problem is that we can't seem to get a Democrat to run for the Iowa House of Representatives here in District 55. Just too dang "red," I guess.-Vote for Don Friedrichsen-
I for one believe that whoever replaces outgoing Clarence Hoffman needs to focus on the needs of rural, Western Iowa. They should support small schools and encourage economic development in this part of the state.-Vote for Don Friedrichsen-
One Republican candidate thinks he should concentrate on amending the state constitution to ban gay marriages and abortion and denying rights to anyone for whom English is a second language. And he's obviously got plenty of money to put up huge signs all over the countryside to make sure people have enough name-recognition to check off his name when they vote in the primary June 3.
-PLEASE Vote for Don Friedrichsen-
While I'm not in the habit of using this very progressive blog to further the fortunes of Republicans, I'd feel neglectful if I failed to draw at least a little attention to that candidate's opponent, Don Friedrichsen. If you haven't figured it out yet, I want to give HIM some free name recognition if I could. Notice, I never name the other guy.
