Iowa ties to MN tragedy, Governor's vetoes and bill signings, Wahls declares for Senate

from KHOI's Capitol Week · host Laura Belin, Spencer Dirks

Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks began with Iowa angles on the horrific political shootings in Minnesota. They discussed Governor Kim Reynolds' unsurprising veto of an eminent domain bill and its aftermath, her surprising veto of a bill the legislature had approved unanimously, and notable bills signed related to pharmacy benefit managers, gender-affirming care, funding for Iowa's 911 system, and public schools. Other topics covered: Zach Wahls' Senate campaign launch, speculation about Senator Joni Ernst's plans, Laura's reporting on the difficult electoral math facing Iowa Democrats, Rob Sand's planned town halls, Donald Trump's military parade, "No Kings" rallies around Iowa, and Nathan Sage on deploying Marines to protests in Los Angeles.
