Iowa has been enduring hard times and in a downward spiral under the trifecta control of the Republicans but this fall's election is an opportunity to change that. Please log in to our Senior / Retiree Constituency Caucus to hear from Rob Sand, our Democratic Candidate for Iowa Governor. Bring your questions and offer your support for the restoration of integrity and service to Iowa's leadership. As Iowa’s State Auditor, he uncovered tens of millions of dollars in misspent money and uncovered more waste, fraud, and abuse in a single term than any other Auditor in state history. Rob works with both parties to get things done, and as governor, he will work across the aisle to make life more affordable for Iowans, restore trust in government, and help Iowans live better, healthier lives.
