News

June 3rd, 2014 by Ric Hanson

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco police officers on Monday afternoon arrested a man with Iowa ties described as social media maven and former political consultant who was wanted by federal agents on suspicion of possessing explosives. A law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter said 42-year-old Ryan Kelly Chamberlain II was spotted in his white car around 6:22 p.m. Monday near San Francisco’s Crissy Field, just south of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The official told The Associated Press that Chamberlain was arrested without incident and is in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, where he is being processed or undergoing interrogation. Chamberlain graduated from Iowa State University in 1993 with majors in journalism and political science. He wrote music reviews for The Des Moines Register in 1995 and 1996.

A news conference on the arrest was planned for today (Tuesday) at 8:30 a.m. local time, at the San Francisco Federal Building.

Iowa to pick candidates for 2 open US House seats

News

June 3rd, 2014 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa primary voters are set to pick potential replacements for two prominent members of the state’s U.S. House delegation. One is Republican who is retiring, the other a Democrat who is running for Senate. Democrats are choosing from among five candidates in the 1st Congressional District, a northeastern Iowa seat that is open after Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley opted to run for U.S. Senate.

Republican voters are picking from six candidates in the 3rd Congressional District, a Des Moines-area seat they are trying to protect after the announced retirement of popular 10-term Rep. Tom Latham. The stakes are high because Iowa’s four congressional seats are equally divided among the two parties and rarely see two vacancies in the same year.

Senate race, from jumbled to jelling around Ernst

News

June 3rd, 2014 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Rural southwest Iowa state Sen. Joni Ernst has emerged as a front-runner in what once was a jumbled field of Republicans hoping to succeed retiring Democratic U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin. Ernst has managed to bring together warring factions of the state and national GOP before the primary. She has aired ads featuring her firing a handgun at an indoor shooting range and talking about her childhood experience castrating hogs.

Today’s (Tuesday’s) primary is significant because Iowa, a traditional swing state, is expected to play a key role in the race for U.S. Senate control this fall. Republicans need six seats to gain a majority. Neither party will have the power of incumbency in the race. The GOP views Democratic U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, the assured nominee, as vulnerable.
