This is how we start taking the country back (cross post from GD)

A friend of mine is running for state auditor in Iowa. It may seem like a nothing post, but in a rural state like Iowa, it is anything but. He also has ambitions to go on from there (as in House and then Senate). He is currently only 1% up in the polls, but he is at least ahead of an entrenched incumbent who thought re-election was going to be a free ride in the era of Trump.

Rob looks like a nerdy 17 year old, but he is a smart guy in his mid-thirties who is from a tiny town in rural Iowa. Exactly the kind of Democrat we need in places like that.

Anyone in Iowa out there who is not voting straight party, please don't forget to vote for Rob Sand for state auditor.

1. Met Rob at a Meet and Greet here in my town.

Rob is smart, has a great speaking ability and has a great record of fighting fraud in Iowa. He would be a great Senator or Governor in Iowa's future!

2. He and I have discussed that

He is realistic, and wants to win this election as a stepping stone to "bigger things" on down the road. He wants to do a credible job as State Auditor, and build upon that later on. He definitely has his eyes set on Congress, and I applaud his vision. Joni Ernst is never going to fill Tom Harkin's shoes, after all.
