"Alaska" Representatives Wendt and Whitead

"Facts" Representative Shomshor
The Iowa Progress Project launched another radio ad in its series of statewide radio ads to educate Iowans on the questionable voting records of liberal state representatives. "Just the Facts" highlights representative's votes to raise taxes, increase the budget, dismantle Iowa's labor laws, and raise salaries of state employees.
"Devastating" Representatives Bailey and Mertz
The Iowa Progress Project has launched a series of statewide radio ads targeting state representatives who tried to gut Iowas bipartisan labor laws.
The Devastating ads are part of a series to educate Iowans on the questionable voting records of liberal state representatives. The radio ads will be aired in twelve state representative's districts that voted to ignore Iowas bipartisan labor laws. The ads encourage constituents to call and urge their representatives to stop taking away local schools powers and instead let parents decide what is best for their kids.

"Train to Nowhere" Representative Palmer
The Iowa Progress Project has launched a series of statewide radio ads highlighting wasteful spending by Governor Culver and the leadership in the Iowa Legislature.
Governor Chet Culver, Speaker Pat Murphy and Senator Mike Gronstal have led Iowa on a liberal spending spree. In just the past two years, state spending is up nearly $1 billion. Taxes and fees are up $500 million. And just days ago we learned from the state Revenue Estimating Conference that Iowa has a structural deficit and is on the verge of a massive financial crisis.
And you won’t believe some of the things the that Governor Culver and the Democrat-controlled legislature are spending your tax dollars on.
Just one example -- liberals in the state legislature, led by Speaker Pat Murphy, appropriated $300,000 to the City of Dubuque for an Amtrak depot.
While sounding harmless enough -- the problem is -- Amtrak doesn’t service Dubuque.
Unfortunately, this example of pork was passed on a strictly party line vote in the legislature.
The “Train to Nowhere” ads are part of a series to educate Iowans on the need for reform of wasteful government spending and to promote greater transparency in government spending. The radio ads will be aired in twelve state representative's districts that voted for this wasteful pork barrel spending, and encourages their constituents to call them and urge them to stop wasting taxpayers' money.
