Recruitment problems?

June 1, 2021

The AP reports Democrats are having recruitment problems in Iowa after losing close races in IA-01 & IA-02 in 2020.

“After the six-vote heartbreaker, some expected Democrat Rita Hart to immediately declare a rematch in the southeast district long held by her party. So far, no Democrat has stepped up to run.”

“And in northeast Iowa, there’s no rush of Democrats angling to take on Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson, who beat one-term Democrat Abby Finkenauer in Iowa’s 1st Congressional District last year.”

Rich Taylor a former Democratic state senator who lost last year summed up how doomed Democrats are in Iowa: “I kind of think we’re past the point of no return.”
