🏛️ Government
Candidates for Iowa’s 2nd congressional district face more negative political ads than in the past two decades, and an analyst said the ads tend to reinforce voters’ views and are largely funded by outside groups.
The ads began appearing early in the primary season.
The first governor’s debate took place at St. Ambrose University on Oct.
6—candidates Rob Sand and Zach Lahn exchanged views on education funding, tax policy and a proposed steel mill deal. Early voting begins Oct. 14 as debates on public school funding and property taxes continue.
