1. Iowa Gov Kim Reynolds turned down $95 million in funding for COVID relief but just signed a bill to give unemployment benefits to people who lose their job for refusing to get a Covid vaccine - this is real

2. Reality is that this is a Republican seat at this point, the race is the primary - We saw two good people, and good candidates in this race the last two cycles, and it was still not a close race. Don’t expect that to change this cycle, but never say never

3. Dems known: JD Leathers, looks like he’s been a farmer and worked with several governments in various capacities, certainly relevant experience for the job which is nice - also Anthony Osborne is listed on Ballotpedia but I couldn’t find anything on him

2. Inflation - if some of the wild items are removed, is actually pretty normal
