Graham brings political courage

Iowans are much smarter than the National Republican Senatorial Committee thinks we are.
Hardworking Iowans actually care about the facts of the issues around our environment, pay equity, and health care. Though the Republicans will continue to play politics as usual and use scare tactics (socialism) and dog-whistle words (invasion), Iowans understand the major issues impacting the lives of everyday hard working Americans. We want and need to have honest, fact-based conversations. Politics as usual as the Republican Party obviously prefers gives us more inept office holders and no positive change for hard working families. Thank goodness U.S. Senate candidate Kimberly Graham has the political courage to talk honestly about these issues during the primary race. Graham would be a great contrast to our current junior senator during debates, and in the U.S. Senate. Graham is good for me. And for Iowa.
