She clearly understands that Latham’s weakness is his near-total loyalty to George Bush and the Republican Party agenda:
“I am running for Congress because we need an independent thinker in Washington who will get to work to make a difference for Iowans,” said Becky Greenwald. “For too long, Tom Latham has been a wingman for George Bush and hasn’t been listening to us. I will go to Washington, roll up my sleeves, and work across the aisle to get things done for the people of the 4th District.”
Latham must be held accountable for marching in lockstep with the unpopular GOP leadership in Congress.
