Iowa Don't Be Fooled Again - Reject The Koch Brothers Candidate

https://blogforiowa.com/2026/06/17/iowa-should-reject-the-koch-brothers-candidate/

Great short post by Trish Nelson at blogforiowa.com reminds us that the Koch brother(s) have ownedIowa over the years and that Zach Lahn is neck deep into being a Koch owned candidate.

Great video by Zachary Oren Smith. Also a clip of Joe Bolckom calling out their "Americans for Prosperity" political action committee. Lahn was an operative for AfP.

And don't forget that phoney Joni is a subsidiary of Koch Brothers.

I cannot provide a source, but it was during the time Harry Reid was in the senate. Reid occasionally commented on the political machinations of the Koch brothers.

My memory (the basic idea): A reporter asked one of the Koch brothers how much money he wanted to acquire. The answer was "All of it."

I hope Iowans will reject anyone and anything political that is supported or promoted by a Koch.

common way to fight old man Koch every single day of his life, I heartily agree. Many Kansans, if they knew the facts, would empathize with the people of IOWA. I hate to say it, but that is one branch of humans which never should have been allowed to procreate! Nothing but ill towards the public has come from this family. I haven't been able to find one true, redeeming character.
