Iowa can use conservatives from Illinois, but Lord knows we have imported enough of you that are anything but.
Pick a town without a college/university though, and avoid the cesspools along US 20, US 30 and I-80.
Used to live just outside Iowa City years back. Then Jefferson and finally Storm Lake where I met my wife. Always liked Iowa and wife still has relatives there. Why it’s a possibility even tho I’m originally from Indiana.
