I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of the Iowa platform Johnny because it changes every two years at convention, and the tin-foilers like to stack their stuff in it. That said, this years platform is a statement principles mostly and far more practical in terms of usefulness. It actually says what we believe in a way that is easily understood and not convoluted and full of side shows.
I know most of the people on the SCC. Almost all of them run conservative, some very much so like the co-chair Cody Hoefert. I’ve known the chair Kaufmann for years and he’s a bat swinger at the Dems. He gets called radical and Establishment all in the same day depending on who’s talking and what their agenda is, but when he was in the legislature he voted very strongly right wing.
One thing I know is that they will recruit conservative candidates. We need a couple of seats in the state senate and we will have the gov and the legislature and a very forward moving conservative agenda gets launched. They are just chomping at the bit at the opportunity. We just need a good organized state party to help bring that to reality.
