District 1 Congressional primary

[Bettie]

any opinions?

Anyone would be better than Blum.

All of the candidates seem decent. Any major pros or cons of any of them? I'm trying my level best to make a decision and still am at "coin flip" stage.

1. I like the engineer from Cedar Rapids

Courtney Rowe. She is a fellow alum from Purdue. Any of the four are better than Blum. My opinion is that we need more scientists and engineers in Congress.

2. Given what I've seen of the committees

related to science, yeah, we do need more of them in congress!

I'll check her out a little more closely.

3. Biden endorsed Finkenauer

She also has labor and women’s groups. Heavily favored.

4. That is who my 17 year old son favors

I like her record and again, any of them would be acceptable in the general.

5. I'm not going push you.

I’m sure they’re all great, but I think it helps to have experience running and winning.

6. Sorry, I've been paying attention to the 3rd & 4th races so not really up to date on the 1st.

[Bettie]

7. I'm in the first

so, that's the one I've been paying attention to, but not enough and we were gone all last week (with no internet), so I've got to decide soon!

On the other hand, a week without having a clue what's going on is kind of nice. Much less stress, even on vacation with three boys.

8. Any of them would be good

Personally I favor Abby but I think any of them would be great.
