From a verified voter in Ames, IATown hall schedule
I'm a registered Republican. I know you hate Tim Walz. But at least he's willing to talk to voters. How do you know what Iowans want if you refuse to talk to them? Surrounding yourself with nothing but lobbyists doesn't give you any idea what average Iowans are struggling with and care about.
