#IA03 #FlipItBlue
LauraRBelinI don't know which GOP-aligned group commissioned this poll, but they clearly expect Nunn to face Sarah Trone Garriott in #IA03.
The attacks they are testing seem fairly weak to me. Several are similar to ads Republicans ran against her in 2024.

Who's up late?
A poll in the field this week tested a bunch of attacks on Democratic State Sen Sarah Trone Garriott and positive messages about #IA03 incumbent Zach Nunn.
I published (and fact-checked) the questions here:

I get the political strategy behind #IA03 Zach Nunn's flip-flop on ACA insurance subsidies. He can tell Iowans he tried to lower their costs.
Most won't realize that if Nunn had had his way, the Democratic bill would never have reached the House floor.

New post: Iowa’s Congressional delegation usually votes in unison. But last week, Zach Nunn #IA03 and Mariannette Miller-Meeks #IA01 each parted ways with most House Rs on high-profile measures.
Nunn's political strategy is easier to understand than Miller-Meeks’. But it may be just as risky.

#IA03 Republican incumbent Zach Nunn should be very worried today.
The Polk County suburbs were crucial for Cindy Axne's wins in 2018 and 2020, and Polk County Democrats are as well organized as I've ever seen.

New post: Francis Boggus is concerned about a video Sarah Trone Garriott (Dem running in #IA03) recorded in 2023.
"We can’t afford to nominate candidates with vulnerabilities the GOP will exploit to hold this crucial seat"
