The Hawkeye PAC has a history of contributing to state legislative candidates. But in 2018, it contributed only to Iowa House Republican candidates and contributed to 57 of them. It hadn’t made contributions to that many House Republican candidates since 2006, which is the year Pat Grassley won election to the Iowa House.
And, back in 2006, there were a number of donations considerably smaller than what was given in 2018.
In addition, the Hawkeye PAC contributed $70,000 directly to Linda Upmeyer’s campaign in 2018. At the time, Upmeyer was Speaker of the Iowa House. She announced in late September of 2019 that she would be stepping down from her role as Speaker.
Upmeyer’s father was also Speaker of the Iowa House at one time. He served with Chuck Grassley at one point in the Iowa House.
That $70,000 stands out when looking at the Hawkeye PAC’s contributions to Iowa legislative candidates over the years. Nothing comes close to matching it. It begs the question, what was that $70,000 for?

Grassley went to the dark side at some point early in his political career. No one is better at feigned outrage, the voting with Democrats (except for Joni Ernst)
Good job, Pining!
Thank you.
You are quite welcome. It’s good to uncover the reptiles in our own backyard, so we can see what they are up to.
Amen to that. I can’t believe how bad Ernst is. Of course, both of them are fully owned by the ethanol lobby. As Rush said, politicians don’t care about voters; the only care about the big donors.

Grassley is Deep State.
He turned over everything to Lindsey Graham and they made Graham point man for setting up Trump.
He protected the Whistleblower making up lies when no such law or rule existed.

And I’m sure Chuck intends for his grandson Pat to take over his senate seat. Politics is so corrupt.
