Grassley’s seniority benefits Iowa

Iowa’s power in Congress is limited, we only have four representatives and two senators. Small states like Iowa can increase their power by reelecting members of Iowa’s congressional delegation each election until they achieve “seniority.” Seniority enables them to become chairs of powerful congressional committees which determine the laws helping Iowans.
Tom Harkin and Chuck Grassley were teammates; powerful Senators with seniority, helping Iowans. Now, only Chuck Grassley remains.
Please vote to re-elect Chuck Grassley. He will be number one in Senate seniority. The most powerful man in the Senate will vote for Iowans; please vote for Grassley.
