WEST BRANCH, Iowa (AP) — Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is finding fans among skeptics of the Democratic establishment in Iowa.

MUSCATINE, Iowa (AP) — Authorities in eastern Iowa say a bicyclist has died after being hit by a car in Muscatine County. The Iowa State Patrol tells the Des Moines Register that 56-year-old Michael Joseph Mann, of Muscatine, was biking on a county road near Moscow late Thursday afternoon when a vehicle struck him from behind. Mann was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators have not reported filing charges in the case.

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — The last of the five people charged in a man’s fatal 2017 shooting during a Davenport robbery has been found guilty. The Quad-City Times reports that a jury on Friday found 36-year-old Christopher Dixon guilty of first-degree murder, robbery and conspiracy to commit a forcible felony in the Sept. 22, 2017, shooting that killed 20-year-old Brady Tumlinson and injured Tumlinson’s girlfriend.

NORTHWOOD, Iowa (AP) — The owner of a northern Iowa dog breeding operation has been found been guilty of animal neglect.
