Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks review the week in Iowa politics, starting with the three Democrats taking a serious look at running for Congress in the third district, where GOP incumbent Zach Nunn is seen as vulnerable. Other topics covered: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's "town hall" in that targeted district, a special election for an Iowa House seat, the legislature's failure to approve K-12 school funding levels, declining state revenues due to tax cuts, some legislative action related to health and the courts, the passing of a former Republican lawmaker who was passionately pro-choice, signs of Iowa's political realignment at the county level, and more Iowa fallout from federal funding cuts or freezes.
