From the Quad City Times:
Brenna Findley worked four jobs to pay for college and the one she’ll draw most heavily on if elected Iowa attorney general will be housecleaning.
She’ll draws on the skills she learned cleaning houses to “clean up the mess in Des Moines,” Findley told the Five Season Republican Women on Tuesday in Cedar Rapids. She cited criticism of Gov. Chet Culver’s administration for problems in the Department of Economic Development’s film office, the Alcoholic Beverages Division and allegations of “pay-to-play” contributions from casino interests.
“We need to air things out and let the sun shine in,” she said.
Findley, a Dexter lawyer, also criticized her opponent, 28-year Democratic Attorney General Tom Miller, for accepting a political contribution from an Iowa family implicated in a national voluntary recall of more than half a billion eggs. Miller accepted a donation in 2005 from Peter DeCoster just five years after Miller’s office labeled his father, Jack DeCoster, Iowa’s first “habitual violator” of state environmental laws.
