We won the school board!!.. Moms for Liberty lost!!!!!... [View all]

even though they were given tons of outside money to run for a position that has no pay associated with it. I am so proud of our Democrats paying close attention to these smaller elections that the republicans have come to rely on to take over power. Truthfully, power comes at the school board, town and city mayors, city council, board supervisors... that is the true power base... we tend to concentrate on the big offices and forget where the true power is..

Well NO MORE!! that was awesome.. Never count Iowa out .. so proud of all our Democrats all over the country..
