💨 Abstract

Rob Sand, Iowa's sole Democrat in statewide office, is running for governor in 2025. He aims to challenge Republicans' longstanding dominance, despite Iowa's significant Republican lean. Sand, currently the state treasurer, emphasizes bipartisan appeal and doing "what's right for Iowans." His campaign is bolstered by $8 million in contributions, primarily from his family. All the while he faces a significant uphill battle in a deeply Republican state.
