Patty Judge:
I’m Patty Judge and we know Chuck Grassley stopped the Senate from working, but he also stopped working for Iowa.
FACT: Sorry, Patty. 7,600+ consecutive votes and counting. A record, in fact.
As a farmer and a nurse, I learned that Iowa works best when we pull together.
Used to be, you could work with Chuck, I did plenty of times. But he’s all politics and partisanship now and he’s turned his back on Iowa.
FACT: Senator Grassley is listed by the Lugar Center at Georgetown University as the 5th most bipartisan Senator.
I oppose this message because Washington changed Chuck and it is time we change our Senator.
