DES MOINES, Iowa – Well before the full results of Tuesday’s Primary Election in Iowa were compiled, the campaign of U.S. Representative Zach Nunn (IA-03) released the following statement this (Tuesday) evening, on the Iowa 3rd Congressional District primary election:

“Tonight, the Democrats’ messy primary finally came to a close. Clinton, Pelosi, and Biden hand-selected their paid political activist, Lanon Baccam, to move to Iowa after years as a D.C. bureaucrat. We’re confident Iowans will reject Lanon and his former bosses’ tax-and-spend, open-border policies that he has made his life’s mission to defend. While Lanon tries to run from his past to deceive Iowans, Zach will continue to deliver results for families.”

(Radio Iowa) – No surprise in results from Iowa’s second congressional district, as there was only one candidate in each party’s primary. Sarah Corkery, a small business owner from Cedar Falls, is the Democrat who’ll challenge Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson’s bid for a third term in the U-S House. Corkery, a breast cancer survivor, says voters are concerned about Iowa’s high cancer rate. “We need to work together to find solutions,” Corkey says, “to be sure we can make Iowa a safe place for everyone.” Corkery says there’s another important topic voters bring up regularly.

“First and foremost, women’s health rights,” Corkery says. “I believe women should be empowered to make those kinds of decisions, including abortion health care.” During a speech last weekend at a fundraiser for Senator Ernst, Hinson said life should be defended at every stage. “They want to codify Roe v Wade. I think we need to stand up for life,” Hinson said. “…We’re also going to continue to fight to keep biological men out of girls’ sports.” Hinson says the Republican majority in the U-S House will be a firewall against the Biden Administration until voters have a say in the 2024 election.

“This is about course correction,” Hinson said. “…The future of America is on the ballot.” As of June 1st, Republicans had a nearly 19-thousand edge in active registered voters in the second congressional district compared to Democrats.

(Radio Iowa0 – Iowa is known as a global leader in producing things like corn, hogs, wind power and ethanol, but the state’s dairy industry is also being celebrated this month. Mariah Busta of Decorah is the executive director of the Iowa State Dairy Association. “Iowa actually ranks number 11 in dairy production, but it is the fifth-largest agriculture sector in Iowa,” Busta says. “Iowa is home to about 750 dairy farms and they’re sprinkled throughout the state, but a lot of them land in eastern Iowa and actually up in the northwest corner of Iowa.”

Busta commends the efforts of the state’s dairy producers for persevering over the decades.  “We’re losing the number of dairy farms in the state,” Busta says. “The number has been declining over the years, but the number of cows has still stayed steady, if not grown a little bit, which is nice. Milk production continues to increase as well.”

The association says Iowa has about 220-thousand dairy cows. A recent study of the economic impact of Iowa’s dairy industry reports a per-cow per-year impact of more than 25-thousand dollars, giving Iowa’s dairy industry an economic impact of more than five-billion dollars per year.
