Bohannan is not ‘dangerous’ or ‘disturbing’

The Gazette offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced.
Ads against Christina Bohannan say she is too “dangerous and disturbing” and even wants to “abolish prisons and police.” Law enforcement officers support her though. I think they meant she wants to protect an individual’s rights. I’ve gone to her rallies and she also wants to do these:
- Make Iowa No. 1 in education and give the kids lunch, even in the summer.
- Bring down the price of health care and prescription drugs, create jobs, improve our infrastructure and reduce the national debt.
- Clean up our waterways and help farmers invest in sustainable farming.
- Have universal background checks for firearms, no guns for domestic abusers and no illegal gun trafficking.
- Have a Farm Bill that supports farmers, not big cooperations.
- Reform immigration and get the bipartisan security bill passed.
- Restore Roe v. Wade and restore reproductive freedom.
- Protect Medicare and Social Security.
This all seems good to me. I don’t see anything that is “dangerous and disturbing.”
