Iowa First

Oct 25, 2019

For generations Iowa has fed the nation. Now with the world facing a climate crisis, Iowa is poised to power America with clean energy. Only Bernie Sanders has a plan bold enough to avert the climate crisis and put Iowa first. As president, he’ll make massive investments in Iowa’s economy, create good paying jobs, put money back in your pocket and end the greed of fossil fuel executives.

Our neighbor has the access road. After several years of negotiations, we worked out a good agreement with the windmill company.

It probably saved the farm this year, with the bad weather and 45 totally screwing the markets.

Bernie is a few years too late.

under President Obama with solar power and wind farms. Some of our power plants were burning oat silage, switchgrass, and other biomass fuels. We have had state agencies and businesses converting to electric vehicles.

Iowa was manufacturing windmills until Trump gutted the industry through EO.

As an Iowan, the idea that Sanders will sweep in here to save us poor rubes and lead us to such a bright future using a very Trumpian slogan is more than galling.
