A Shenandoah man was arrested Monday night on a drug charge. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says 37-year old Joe Dawson Roberts was arrested at around 8:55-p.m. for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Roberts was brought to the Montgomery County Jail and held on full bond.

The three Democrats seeking their party’s nomination for Iowa’s third district congressional seat agreed on each issue raised last night in a forum hosted by the Iowa Asian and Latino Coalition. It was when the candidates told stories about their backgrounds and how they would campaign against Republican Congressman David Young that differences emerged.

Desmund Adams of Clive is a high school dropout who wound up earning a teaching degree and a law degree. He touted his ability to “build coalitions”. “To be able to reach across aisles by not only aisles politically, but aisles both ethnic, racial, cultural, economic, business, workers,” Adams said. “It’s going to require that in order for us to win this seat back.” Mike Sherzan, of West Des Moines, sold his successful Iowa business to his employees last fall. “That doesn’t mean I’m a better person here,” Sherzan said. “That just means I know how to get things organized. I know how to work with people and that will make me a better legislator and, ultimately, a better person to organize the defeat of David Young.”

Jim Mowrer touted his experience running unsuccesfully against Congressman Steve King in 2014. Mowrer told the crowd he understands how to govern after working in the Pentagon and Mowrer closed the forum by suggesting his two Democratic rivals were ill-equipped to run against Young. “I don’t think it’s a retirement job. I don’t think it’s a job for someone who has no experience governing. It’s not going to be easy,” Mowrer said. “This is one of the closest districts and races in the country.” The third congressional district covers 16 counties in the southwestern quadrant of the state.

ANAMOSA, Iowa (AP) — Officials have lifted a bottled water advisory in Anamosa after determining a chemical mistakenly added to the water supply was harmless at low concentrations. The Department of Natural Resources lifted the advisory Monday evening after determining the chemical was triethanolamine, used mostly in the cosmetic and drug industries. One to three gallons of the chemical were mixed into about 750,000 gallons of water storage, which diluted the chemical to a harmless level.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad says the Republican Party must come together and support Donald Trump’s candidacy for president. The Republican governor said Monday that GOP leaders need to accept that Trump will be the party’s nominee for president and work to defeat Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee. He said there’s “some time” to mend internal division within the party over whether to support Trump.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Now that Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, supporters of President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court pick believe they have a winning argument to get the GOP-led Senate to act. Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley opposes confirmation hearings or votes on Judge Merrick Garland until Americans elect the next president. But with Trump the likely nominee, Grassley is under new pressure from Democrats and the White House.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The lawyer for a man convicted of first-degree murder in the shooting death of a woman in a Coralville mall has requested a new trial, claiming prosecutors didn’t follow court rules.
