Rob Sand is the only politician that I’m aware of that can actually win an election with bipartisan approval. He was the only elected official in Iowa that did so as state auditor, where he got shit done, by the books. The only criticism I’ve ever heard about him came from those cunts Gov Kim Reynolds and AG Brenda Bird, of which I can’t honestly say which is worse. They got pissy because he uncovered corruption, they didn’t like it, and their attacks on him failed.

He’s not a progressive, but he’s a good person that I genuinely believe can be trusted to do the right thing. There’s a reason Musk is looking to spend millions in Iowa, and it’s because Sand is awesome and has support on both sides, but can’t be controlled by any party. Him winning governor would bar none be the best thing that’s happened to Iowa since it was the first state to legalize same sex marriage.
