GOP candidate pitches, Derek Wulf finances, 2Q fundraising
Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks began with Republican speeches to the Family Leadership Summit: Ashley Hinson, Zach Lahn, Mike Johnson, and more. They discussed Laura's exclusive reporting on the litigation facing GOP nominee for lieutenant governor Derek Wulf and unanswered questions about how he is repaying his debts. They also covered highlights from the latest round of fundraising reports for Iowa's state and federal candidates, including yet another record-breaking haul for Rob Sand. Finally, Senator Chuck Grassley vouched for Todd Blanche, and Laura rememberd the late State Senator Julian Garrett as a "model of persistence."
