from Radio Iowa

Republican Bob Vander Plaats today revealed the name of the new group he will lead in an effort to unseat three Iowa Supreme Court justices.

Vander Plaats held a news conference on a sidewalk outside the Iowa Judicial Building to announce his new group will be called “Iowa for Freedom” and the group’s website is already online. “We right now have the resources to run a very effective, grassroots campaign,” Vander Plaats said.
