Iowa Dem Scrubs Left-Wing Views From Campaign Site To Kick Off Moderate Congressional Campaign
Christina Bohannan condemned voter ID laws, backed taxpayer-funded gender reassignment surgeries
Democratic congressional candidate Christina Bohannan scrubbed her old campaign site—which called voter ID laws "a threat to democratic governance" and endorsed taxpayer-funded sex change surgeries—in an effort to bolster her moderate pitch to Iowa voters.
Bohannan, a state legislator, announced on Tuesday her bid to unseat Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R.), saying she decided to run "because she believes we need less bickering in Washington, and more working together." Prior to the announcement, she removed all policy positions from her
2020 campaign site—including sections that condemned Iowa's voter ID law and backed taxpayer funding for "gender confirmation surgery for transgender individuals."
The revelation threatens to undermine Bohannan's attempt to position herself as a moderate and to complicate Democrats' ability to flip a district that former president Donald Trump won in November by 4 points. Nearly 70 percent of Iowa voters, for example, expressed support for voter ID requirements after Republicans introduced their "Election Integrity Act" in 2017. According to Bohannan, however, the law is one of the "numerous threats to democracy in our state" and should be repealed.
