More bad news for Democrats’ hopes in Iowa this morning. New polling in IA-02 shows Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks already has the race tied 41%-41%. Among voters who know both candidates, Miller-Meeks takes the lead 49-46%.

Maybe it has something to do with Democrat Rita Hart’s plan to bankrupt farmers? ...

hat’s a reference to New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker’s Farms System Reform Act, which would place a moratorium on concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and phase them out by 2040. It would reduce food production, increase food prices and destroy thousands of Iowa jobs, according to Miller-Meeks supporters.

Hart, a Wheatland farmer and former teacher has not endorsed the plan, according to her campaign. However, the former state senator, told the Iowa Farmers Union she agrees with the principles of Booker’s legislation, which has not been endorsed by farm groups...

One of the 30 Dem districts that went for Pres. Trump in 2016 and one of my former places of temporary repose in the mid 80s and mid 90s. Should be a pickup for us.

NY could turn two Congressional seats EASILY. But since the NYS GOP is worthless they are not recruiting, fundraising or developing candidates - really shameful.

I really hope David Young can trounce Cindy Axne, but there are those suburban women voters with no sense. Young is no prize, but Axne is a disaster.

Miller-Meeks is a retread and poor candidate. That she seems to be doing so well is big trouble for Dems.
