Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks began with campaign news: State Senator Sarah Trone Garriott was the first Democrat to announce in Iowa's third Congressional district, two Republicans ruled out the 2026 governor's race, and the outcome of an Iowa House special election. Other topics covered: Republican drama over the state budget and eminent domain hanging up the legislative session; Bayer's efforts to revive the pesticide immunity bill; new state laws on cell phones in schools, National Guard scholarships, nuisance actions, birth centers, and "accessory dwelling units"; and the House Government Oversight Committee grilling State Auditor Rob Sand and seeking confidential information from a nonprofit advocacy group.
