Dallas County, Iowa flips blue after longtime GOP dominance

Dallas County, the Midwest's fastest-growing county , swung left in the midterms, breaking a decades-long Republican voting streak in gubernatorial and congressional elections since 2008. Why it matters: The booming Des Moines metro county is adding thousands of voters annually to its suburbs, making its changing political makeup increasingly important to candidates. By the numbers: Dallas County backed President Trump in 2024 but gave Democrat Rob Sand 59% of the vote last Tuesday. Before this election, Dallas County last backed a Democrat in a gubernatorial race in 2002, with Tom Vilsack, and in a federal race in 2008, with U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin. It also supported Democrat Sarah Trone Garriott and gave Democrats a 4-1 majority on the county Board of Supervisors, after recently adding two seats. The big picture: President Trump's rhetoric and policies on immigration, tariffs and the war in Iran may have alienated some of the county's college-educated suburban voters, says Donna Hoffman, a political science professor at the University of Northern Iowa. The county's growth has brought in younger educated professionals, including some who may have traditionally favored Republicans on economic issues. Nationally, the once reliably conservative group of voters has swung in more recent history,

Iowa law fuels LifeWise Academy growth, including in Des Moines metro

A Christian religious education program is expanding its reach in Iowa, including in the Des Moines metro area. LifeWise Academy first came to Iowa in 2022. A 2025 state law that allows public school students to be excused from school to attend religious instruction courses for up to five hours a week boosted interest and helped LifeWise expand to 37 schools across 24 districts. Students were allowed to leave school for religious instruction before Iowa's law took effect. A 1952 U.S. Supreme Court ruling permits students to leave school for religious instruction if the program is privately funded, held off school grounds, is voluntary, and if parents or guardians give consent. LifeWise Academy meets those requirements, but the Iowa law provided clarity for communities that were interested in joining the program, said Sarah Buzynski, LifeWise's Iowa director. The academy began in rural Ohio in 2019 and now has chapters in more than 1,000 communities across the United States. To start a LifeWise chapter, community members must gather signatures, raise money and form a leadership team, and get permission from a school. Interested students can enroll in weekly instruction during times that do not interfere with core classes, such as lunch,

E-Bikes and E-Scooters: Good or Bad?

Electric bikes and scooters have been on the rise recently. Many students at ADM have began to trade out their “normal” bikes for electric ones. These bikes have an average of 20 MPH, with some even reaching 30. With these bikes, riders are encouraged to wear helmets, and the bikes are outfitted with stronger breaks, but is this really enough? People have a 10% chance of dying in a car crash at an impact speed of 20 MPH, and that’s in a car, with more protection than a bike. Many riders also use these bikes as a way to commute at higher speeds without a driving license. Are E-bikes and E-scooters worth the hype? Should younger people be trusted with operating them?
