That means your average Iowa voter went and voted for three Dems, three Rs.
We also are a state that has bottomed out.
And sometimes I think you have to bottom out as a state like Kansas did before people are willing to go a different direction.
But we are dead last for economic growth.
We're 48th for personal income growth.
We're one of two states already in an economic decline.
We're basically dead last for every single healthcare metric, closing healthcare facilities all over the state.
We lead the nation in cancer rates and now we lead the nation in farm foreclosures.
We have bottomed out and then we have no power of incumbency.
This is the first time since 1968, open governor's race and open Senate race and two open congressional races.
Iowa is going to be the center of the political universe.
This is a state that we can legitimately see flipping three congressional races.
We can win this open governor's race and we can win this open Senate race.
I mean, we had an independent poll that came out that showed myself and Ashley Henson tied.
So that's why I want the national attention in that regard of this isn't just about me.
This is about.
We in Iowa have this once in a generation opportunity where if we go and we're organized and we're coordinated, we not only have the opportunity to change our cities or change our communities, change our counties, we can fundamentally change the state.
And the amazing opportunity we've got in Iowa is if we're able to flip these three congressional races, we flip Congress.
But then the amazing opportunity, which people would have said was blasphemous to talk about a year ago, which is you need four states to flip the Senate.
Maybe North Carolina, maybe Maine, that looks really good.
