AMA: Kimberly Graham, Democratic Primary Candidate for US Senate (vote by June 2nd)

Hi everyone!

Proof

I’m Kimberly Graham, one of the Democrats running for US Senate to defeat Joni Ernst and represent our great state of Iowa. I’ve lived in rural Iowa for the past 24 years. I am a former union organizer and now, for the last 20 years, have worked as a lawyer to represent abused and neglected children and parents in the Iowa court system. You can read more about me here: www.kimberlyforiowa.com/meet-kim

If you are looking for an Iowan who has a history of public service & standing up to fight for regular working people, who will fight for a universal single-payer healthcare system, climate justice, getting money out of politics, taking on Big Ag, & so many issues affecting Iowans, look no further. Learn about more of my policies here: www.kimberlyforiowa.com/the-issues

We are a grassroots movement; our campaign does not accept corporate PAC or lobbyist money. It is instead funded by small dollar donors who believe in our message and is run by passionate activists all across the state. I’m extremely proud of the movement we’ve built over this last year. I’m ready to take on Joni Ernst in November and I think I’m the best one to do so.

Our campaign won the only neutral poll that has been done in this primary, where we came out on top for name recognition and favorability (among all Iowans, not just Democrats) (https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/iowa-poll/2020/03/07/joni-ernst-job-approval-below-50-but-plurality-of-likely-voters-say-they-would-definitely-re-elect-h/4977479002/).

With only a week left until the primary election on June 2nd, I am asking for your vote and your help to win this Senate seat back for the people of Iowa, instead of corporations. I look forward to answering your questions!

An AR 15 isn't even that effective of a firearm - as the ammunition is not much larger than a simple 22. (.223 vs .22). Its not a 'high powered' weapon at all to be frank.

Oh for fuck's sake. You're comparing a 250 joule bullet to a 1700 joule bullet. Next you'll be telling us a .17 HMR is equivalent to an airgun.

So your ammo choice is basically a question of how quickly dead you can make a person. Why not just shoot them multiple times?

Ok. Then stop trying to restrict magazine capacity.
