What a refreshing change this would be.
Nunn might actually lobby for Grassley's seat when Chuck resigns next year.
She's fantastic. I'll be doing a lot to help her these coming months. FantasticReally impressive that she unseated the Iowa Senate President (R) when she ran. She might have the juice to take the next step up.
Nunn's name has been floated for governor.
This is the reality. You can't plug in a far left dem who is losing both of the top 80/20 issues at the moment and expect to win here. Especially as more is revealed about her relationship with an NGO actively facilitating the border crisis in Iowa.She’s a great state house presence but guys, she hasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell in Iowa’s 3rd…
It’s a Dems seat to win this time but Dems must choose a “traditional” middle of the roader or the Repubbers will win by 2-5% in ‘26.
There will be better (winnable) candidates announcing.
She took down Whitver and she's a great candidate and rep like you stated. I don't agreeShe’s a great state house presence but guys, she hasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell in Iowa’s 3rd…

She is no “far left” Democrat scruffy except how she is portrayed by right-wing nuts of the Republican Party. She has pretty common Iowa values… and she probably is really a Christian…something again that MAGAts expouse but fail to live.This is the reality. You can't plug in a far left dem who is losing both of the top 80/20 issues at the moment and expect to win here.

Abortion in the third trimester and men in women's locker rooms is as far left and anti-christian as it gets. Try again. You did better the first time lolShe is no “far left” Democrat scruffy except how she is portrayed by right-wing nuts of the Republican Party.

She just isn’t electable in the whole of District 3.
Nunn is an utter fake and a horrid congressman…. And popular in rural areas of #3.
Dems find someone to cut into rural votes, Dems win! Just like Smith and Boswell did.
Her district is nothing like the make-up of Iowa #3. That is the reality.She took down Whitver and she's a great candidate and rep like you stated. I don't agree
Was she responsible for the litter boxes in schools? I’ll be damned…Imagine…a women supporting abortion to save a woman’s life if needed! The scandal!Abortion in the third trimester and men in women's locker rooms is as far left and anti-christian as it gets. Try again. You did better the first time lol
Weird framing to support unlimited abortions up to the time of birth. Health of the mother is not one of her requirements. I do enjoy watching the left think litter boxes are the losing issue in the trans discussion lol you guys have lost the plot entirely 😉 🤣Was she responsible for the litter boxes in schools? I’ll be damned…Imagine…a women supporting abortion to save a woman’s life if needed! The scandal!
You are such a phuquin’ tool, scruff…
I’m equally amazed that MAGA fools like you are so easily tripped by the stories of litter boxes in schools! How stupid can you be?Weird framing to support unlimited abortions up to the time of birth. Health of the mother is not one of her requirements.

I’m somewhat surprised we haven’t seen many official candidates decide to announce their candidacies yet, particularly Sand.Update on Nunn.

Rep. Zach Nunn taps out of Iowa gubernatorial race in 2026
So far, three of Iowa's four U.S. representatives have tapped out of the race.www.weareiowa.com
I freely admit I don’t know much about this gal, but IA 3 will be a top target for Dems in the midterms.Her district is nothing like the make-up of Iowa #3. That is the reality.
I appreciate Joel's thoughts but she isn't extremely left wing and anyone not Fascist MAGA would be viewed as that anyways.I’m somewhat surprised we haven’t seen many official candidates decide to announce their candidacies yet, particularly Sand.

I believe it’s “gettable” but it has to be the right candidate…I’m somewhat surprised we haven’t seen many official candidates decide to announce their candidacies yet, particularly Sand.

I know Ottumwa has lots of dems... Hopefully they don't vote for herThis is the reality.

I don’t know much about her…why is she fantastic?
Wasn’t her race vs Whitver razor thin?She took down Whitver and she's a great candidate and rep like you stated. I don't agree
Yes he was also the leader of the Iowa SenateI don’t know much about her…why is she fantastic?

JFC, they're going to do that to any dem that wins the primary Joel. They do it to every Democrat everywhere in the country.I believe it’s “gettable” but it has to be the right candidate…
T-G is right for the Iowa legislature but the GOP media machine (Family Leader types) will kill her with a media blitz…
Dems have to win Iowa #3 this time to put sanity back into the Congress.
If you really want to help her you'd best just stay away...
Please, please, have her start a publicity tour where she expresses her views honestly....If Chishawk likes her, she will flame out in a matter of moments...
Let’s see where this goes the next 60 days or so…Dems are oft too quick to fall in love with their candidates…and in recent years, this has worked against them.JFC, they're going to do that to any dem that wins the primary Joel. They do it to every Democrat everywhere in the country.
Who's your pick then that would be immune from the usual Republican attacks?
I don't know anything about her, but she's very telegenic and well-spoken and appears from the clip to potentially be a very strong candidate.
And no way they'd go after John Kerry's military record! 3 Purple Hearts! A Silver and Bronze Star!
Honestly… the Congressionals are pretty much “cut and dried”…Iowa Populations are spread out pretty much and not “evenly”…I think the way the state legislature is divided is a lot more controversial…It's absolutely crazy how this State's Congressional districts are carved up to give EVERY possible advantage to Republicans.
Geographically, it just looks weird.
Elections have consequences.
I was more referring to the actual county map.Honestly… the Congressionals are pretty much “cut and dried”…Iowa Populations are spread out pretty much and not “evenly”…I think the way the state legislature is divided is a lot more controversial…
You won’t get an argument from me about how the state legislature is districted…it is NOT Dem friendly at all…and hasn’t been fir the last couple of re-districtings…but Iowa is pretty “upfront” about how things are done politically….. and winning those crucial “10 year elections” is paramount to political control in Iowa.I was more referring to the actual county map.
The most obvious are where they had to throw in enough rural counties to offset CR in District 1, IC and Scott County in District 2, and Polk County in District 3.
In each of those three, the maps just look weird.
She triggered you, so she must be a good candidate.A hyphenated liberal...
Just what we need.
Northern had all the Ioway Republicans-MAGA phraseology down pat!She triggered you, so she must be a good candidate.
