Governor's speech, other officials' wish lists, two Dems running for Ag Sec

Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks each shared a favorite quote from Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., then got right to it, discussing key points from Governor Kim Reynolds' Condition of the State address, some topics Reynolds didn't mention, Democratic reaction, why the governor wants to eliminate elections for some county offices, and Laura's viral moment when the governor's staffer prevented her from entering a briefing. Other topics covered: what the Iowa Supreme Court chief justice is asking for, why the Iowa National Guard is deployed in Syria, the legislative priorities of Iowa's attorney general, state auditor, and secretary of agriculture, and early bills moving through Iowa House committees. They finished with some campaign news: two Democrats launched bids for secretary of agriculture, a ratings change for Iowa's third Congressional district, and why one Republican candidate for governor wants supporters to attend off-year caucuses in February.
