#electionsmatter Flip It Iowa

Robin and I attended our second Flip It Iowa event. This was hosted by Janet Lyness and was for Jennifer Konfirst. Jennifer is running in the Des Moines area and is making so much progress, the powerful Republican currently in the seat decided to move to a more friendly district. Unfortunately, Jennifer was down with the flu, but her father pitch hit for her. Mike Glover was a longtime journalist that covered the Statehouse for AP.

If you haven't heard about Flip It, now is a great time. These are the kind of grassroots things happening in the #resistance across our country. A group of east side Iowa Citians have been calling and writing GOP electeds for the past year and were getting more and more frustrated. They figured out a lot of other people felt the same way, so they did their research and learned that it is completely possible to win back the Iowa House. They are throwing house parties around Johnson County for targeted House candidates. They are bringing in tons of new people and raising $2,000 or 3,000 at every event. This money is vital to close House races. The Flip It movement is spreading to other parts of Iowa.

Please consider getting involved, hosting and attending events. They already have four more lined up in Johnson County. When we all give $25 to targeted candidates, we can change outcomes and make this a more caring state.
