Why is Woke Big Tech secretly trying to change Iowa’s electric grid?
The spokesperson for the group, R.G. Schwarm, spent the better part of an hour talking about how Iowans want more competition in the electricity markets but then he went on to say his group wasn’t actually pushing for competition for Iowans.

What did Deidre DeJear tell radical leftist group CCI?

NEW: Ashley Hinson ad titled “Change Direction”

She actually wants liberals like Pelosi in charge of our government, our lives, and even our kids. It’s time to change direction and save America before it’s too late.”
