Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks began with news related to the imminent end of the federal government shutdown and resumption of SNAP benefit payments. Two Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate are calling for Chuck Schumer to step down as Senate minority leader, and several Democrats running for Congress also criticized the deal. They discussed notable results from Iowa's local and school board elections, including a pro-labor Democrat winning in Council Bluffs and the Des Moines school bond passing by a wide margin. Other topics covered: Miller-Meeks finally holding a town hall, union recertification elections, Zach Lahn's campaign for governor, a big endorsement for Adam Steen, Rob Sand's latest comments on property taxes, the GOP candidate for an upcoming special state legislative race, the two finalists for the Iowa State University presidency, and a First Amendment challenge to Iowa's ban on placing candidate yard signs on corporate property.
