We need to be focused

Our family plans a lot of gatherings. We are a togetherness-group so events are happening all the time. In one meeting recently, our three year-old great-grandson had received gifts of coins and bills. He wasn’t interested in how much they totaled, it was enough for him just to count them, separately. If he got a dollar it was just one unit; if he got a quarter it was just one. He had counted up to forty but he lost his focus when the adults spoke over him.

Warme for Senate, Barker for House District 51 on June 4

Voting for our elected officials is both a privilege and a responsibility that I take very seriously. After studying their literature and meeting with each of them individually, I am confident that Kara Warme is the best person to represent our district in the Iowa Senate and Brett Barker is the best candidate to represent Iowa House District 51. As Governor Kim Reynolds said to a group of over 100 last Friday, Kara will not be outworked and will fight to keep this seat red and to protect the conservative victories made here in Iowa. Kara and her husband Bryan live, work, farm, attend ...
