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.”

Fighting for Iowa’s Producers and Consumers
In 2019, a single Tyson-owned beef processing plant in Kansas, which processed around six percent of American beef on its own, was closed for months following a large fire. The COVID-19 pandemic caused processing and packing plants to close, which led to additional shortfalls and interruptions in an already uneasy market. Finally, JBS was hit by a ransomware attack that shutdown their plants and stopped production for days.
The fact that these three disruptions impacted our supply chains so severely highlights the problems created by over consolidation in this industry. Anticompetitive practices in the American meatpacking industry, especially in the beef cattle industry, have grown as a threat to both our food supply and national security. Consumers are seeing higher prices at the store, but Iowa’s producers are still losing money. This is unacceptable.

Sand Gets Sued: Lawsuit Claims Auditor Illegally Withheld Public Records
According to the lawsuit, the auditor’s office withheld “less than a dozen” email threads from its response to the Kirkwood Institute. Sand’s office cited two reasons: that all of its audit and examination records are confidential and that disclosure would harm an ongoing investigation or threaten the safety of individuals.
Pretty strong stuff, right? But here is the problem. Among the withheld email threads was an email that the Bleeding Heartland blog had already published in a story about the report. That’s right, the auditor’s office claimed an email was secret that a liberal blogger had already put out to the public. The email in question was an effort by Sand’s chief of staff to push back against the successful effort of the governor’s team to discredit the report.
