No Personal Attacks, Just the Facts!

Iowa State Senator Staci Appel has lost her bid for re-election, losing by 5,095 votes to the Conservative Champion of We the People, Republican Kent Sorenson, according to these unofficial election results with all 39 precincts reporting. This represents a 58.85% to 40.92% win for Kent Sorenson. Today is a proud and joyous day for all of us in District 37! While celebrating his win at the Sports Page restaurant in Indianola on election night, Kent Sorenson said, "I'm humbled by the people in my district and I look forward to serving them. The people have spoken today, they want someone to take over and represent them, not special interests and not big labor."

I for one (as the creator of this website) have a strong belief that we the people of Iowa Senate District 37 will be proud of our decision to send an honest fiscal Conservative, Kent Sorenson, to represent us in the upper house, replacing the current fiscally questionable Senator Appel. I also can't wait to watch the feathers fly, as Kent Sorenson and Mike Gronstal meet as peers in the general assembly. Gronstal's next two years are shall we say, going to be rather unpleasant, as he has become accustomed to mostly dealing with RINO Republican opposition up to this point. Let's hope in two years, as we have seen in this election, the good people of Iowa District 50 will find someone like Kent Sorenson to replace Gronstal. Slowly, we can, we will take Iowa back to the principles upon which this state was founded!

From: Kent Sorenson’s Mother-in-law

No one knows Kent better than his own mother, his wife of 21 years, and yes his mother-in-law of 21 years. I’ve know Kent since he was 17 years old through the thick of it all; through the hardships and good times; through lack and through God’s bounty. I’ve seen God’s hand on his life, preparing him along the way for this arduous task. I will stand up for Kent until the end of time because I believe in him and the work God is doing in his heart and life. He’s a dedicated husband and father. He’s determined & focused on impacting change in our government that’s gone awry. He knew up front going into the political arena that he would face tremendous opposition from the liberals who are ready and willing to destroy anyone who opposes their wasteful liberal agenda through smear and personal attack ads. That doesn’t stop him, he’s willing to pay the high price of personal attacks in order to protect and stand up for our Personal Freedoms, God, The Family, The Constitution, and The Unborn Babies that are being slaughtered daily. If people are really honest with themselves, most of us have things in our past that we are not proud of especially when we were younger. But as we grow & learn we now know better so we now do better. That’s the Kent I know and love…

his mother-in-law…
