Iowa House Speaker Pat Grassley didn't have a "gaggle" last week, but he did take questions from reporters today about a wide range of topics. My video:

On the one hand, talking politics for seven straight hours is huge, needed intake. On the other, I'm drained of any energy that might produce something useful in today's remaining hours. Good to spend time with people I know. #iapolitics

Have been working with others to recruit an Iowa House candidate in our district. I've been represented by a Republican in Johnson County since 2013. No one expressed interest yet. We have (looks at calendar) three days to file. #iapolitics

Thanks to all who have offered to share notes on the latest message-testing poll in Iowa's Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.

I have a recording and will be discussing this and another recent Zach Wahls/Josh Turek poll on Monday night's edition of "KHOI's Capitol Week." #Iowa #IASen #iapolitics

We saw it coming. Many policy & political reasons:
-Trump tariffs hurt farmers
-Trump healthcare cuts hurt rural hospitals
-Trump hurts Iowa's robust renewable energy industry
-VERY strong #IAGov candidate
-competitive #IA01 #IA02 #IA03 races

Primary day in #Iowa is June 2, three and a half months out.

I'll enjoy watching #IASen play out, as I currently don't have strong feelings between @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social & @zachwahls.bsky.social and see compelling aspects of both of their candidacies.

"A strong message": Four takeaways from Renee Hardman's big win Laura Belin: While Hardman's win was not a surprise, we can learn a few lessons from the lopsided special election result.

It's no surprise Renee Hardman won, but we can still learn some things from the lopsided result. #Iowa #iapolitics #ialegis

I'd love to see #Iowa get the @charlesgaba.com treatment.

I think it can be the most impact-able, swing-able state's-worth of races, for a variety of reasons.

Between politics (competitive races for AG #IAGov #IASen #IA01 #IA02 #IA03) and policy (tariffs hurting farmers, healthcare cuts imperiling rural hospitals, renewable energy cuts), #Iowa will be PIVOTAL in 2026.
