We saw it coming. Many policy & political reasons:
-Trump tariffs hurt farmers
-Trump healthcare cuts hurt rural hospitals
-Trump hurts Iowa's robust renewable energy industry
-VERY strong #IAGov candidate
-competitive #IA01 #IA02 #IA03 races

Primary day in #Iowa is June 2, three and a half months out.

I'll enjoy watching #IASen play out, as I currently don't have strong feelings between @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social & @zachwahls.bsky.social and see compelling aspects of both of their candidacies.

How would you rank how the following issues are resonating with #Iowa voters or could impact #iapolitics races:
-healthcare cuts harming rural hospitals
