Welcome back to "The Hot Dish," where we serve up the latest political insights with a side of grassroots wisdom. In today's episode, host Heidi Heitkamp welcomes Iowa State Representative J.D. Scholten, who shares his insights from the campaign trail. We'll dive into the critical issues that drove his unexpected victory in a Trump district.
First, the hosts touch on the challenges facing rural communities, including healthcare crises and the fast-paced messaging tactics of conservative media and the importance of engaging younger voters for a vibrant political future.
