Iowa candidate filings; legislative work on health care
Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks spent half the show reviewing which Republicans and Democrats will be and won't be on the June 2 primary ballot for state and federal offices. Other topics covered: Donald Trump's PAC using a photo from the recent dignified transfer for a fundraising email, health care as an issue in Iowa's third Congressional district, the latest state revenue projections, early findings from state-funded research on Iowa's high cancer rate, and legislative happenings related to health policies, public assistance programs, and abortion.
