I live in Pleasant Hill and received the clear bag on my door Saturday the 14th, containing the absentee ballot request forms and note from the East Polk Democrats. Good idea!

I plan to vote early in person but I agree, no downside to distributing these absentee ballot request forms.

The district’s (and state’s) biggest city with a polluted water supply for 40+ years, Ottumwa with a crumbling, depression era drinking water treatment plant with a nitrate problem, several communities in SW Iowa with nitrate issues, repeated environmental apocalypse on the Nishnabotna, but sure, two issues plus maybe Social Security

Congress can't even pass a budget or a Farm Bill and they certainly aren't up to anything serious on water pollution.
