Bleeding Heartland for John Norris today!!

http://www.bleedingheartland.com/2018/03/24/john-norris-for-governor/

I didn’t expect to commit to a candidate for governor until shortly before the June 5 primary. But as a Polk County convention delegate, part of my job today will be electing district and state delegates. If no gubernatorial candidate receives at least 35 percent of the vote in the primary, a state convention will select our nominee.

Here’s why I believe John Norris should be that candidate.

bleedingheartland really digs deep and I believe her reasoning is solid.

I was waffling between Boulton, Hubbell (for his name) with an outside to Cathy Glasson until we had a joint appearance in our hometown. Norris really shined that night. His experience was obvious.

I have a close friend who is a huge Norris backer and a close friend who is a huge Boulton backer.

Boulton also has a small town background, huge energy and long and deep labor connections if that has much value in Iowa these days.

This adds another plus to the Norris column. Right now I would say Norris is leading in my race.
