| Some say that “few people are better connected with insiders than [Joe Mitchell].” And after Shannon Lundgren dropped out of Iowa’s second congressional district race today, Iowans will soon learn that Mitchell is a Des Moines insider, lobbyist, career politician, and carpetbagger who will go to Washington and work for his party bosses – not Iowans.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Des Moines lobbyist, connected political insider, career politician, and carpetbagger: that’s Joe Mitchell. Mitchell has never lived in Northeast Iowa, and is more interested in serving his party bosses and rich friends instead of doing anything to lower costs for regular Iowa families.”
Here’s What You Need To Know About Joe Mitchell:
- Joe Mitchell is a Des Moines insider, career politician, and lobbyist who entered elected office when he was just 21 years old.
- Mitchell has never lived in Iowa’s second congressional district and is carpetbagging to try to buy himself a seat in Congress.
- Mitchell grew up in southeast Iowa and represented the Mount Pleasant area in the state legislature – neither in Iowa’s second district.
- Then Mitchell moved to Des Moines – also not in Iowa’s second district.
- Mitchell will be a rubberstamp for his party bosses and his rich Washington friends instead of working to get costs down for Iowans.
