Iowa AG Race Tightens as Cash Flows Surge | Des Moines News

Iowa’s Attorney General race is heating up as both Brenna Bird and Nate Willems rake in nearly $2 million each—Bird still holds a slight edge with $1.96M to Willems’ $1.95M. Both campaigns got massive $1.5M boosts from their party’s AG associations, but Bird boasts 12x more cash on hand than she did in 2022, touting her record on public safety and election security. Willems, meanwhile, claims his fundraising shatters Democratic AG records and argues voters want someone who’ll challenge big interests—backed by thousands of grassroots donors. Elsewhere, Ryan Peterman edges out Paul Pate in Secretary of State fundraising, while Mike Naig and Taylor Wettach hold strong cash leads in Agriculture and Auditor races respectively. Roby Smith remains ahead in Treasurer, with both fundraising and cash reserves over his opponent. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
