Reynolds said these are “crazy times,” thanks to the Biden administration.

Reynolds introduced Congressman Randy Feenstra, a candidate for U-S Representative in District 4, who said there is a lot of work to be done with the federal government, including overcoming a progressive liberal agenda by “Biden, by Pelosi and Schumer,” and are willing to destroy the country. He cited the open border, and the purchase of foreign oil.

Senator Zach Nunn mentioned his opponent in the General Election, 3rd District Democrat incumbent Cindy Axne.

He said they have great leadership ready to take control of the country, and it can be possible if people get out and vote.

Guthrie County Attorney/Prosecutor Brenna Bird spoke during the rally. She’s running for Iowa Attorney General, a title currently being held by Democrat Tom Miller, who is running for re-election. She spoke about “Backing the Blue,” and mentioned Cass County Sheriff Darby McLaren, who appears in one of her TV ads.

She referred to her opponnent Tom Miller, as a “Long-time lazy liberal who got elected in the 70’s. Senator Roby Smith, the Republican candidate for State Treasurer, also spoke briefly, as did Senator Tom Shipley, from Nodaway, and Thomas Moore, from Griswold. Smith is running against incumbent Michael Fitzgerald. Incumbent Shipley faces a challenge by Tripp Narup. Afterward, those in attendance had a chance for a brief photo opportunity with the candidates, and to sign the bus in support of the “Red Wave.”
