I'm at the Democratic nominating convention for Iowa Senate district 16 in West Des Moines.
Delegates from the precincts in this district (covering Windsor Heights and parts of Clive and WDM) will nominate a candidate for Dec. 30 special election to replace the late Dem State Senator Claire Celsi.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to βthe right of the people peaceably to assemble.β I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.
