This morning, Jaylen Cavil, one of House Minority Leader Jennifer Konfrst's top recruits for the Iowa House this cycle, tweeted, "Vote for me because I would never give the violent & racist Iowa State Patrol my 'unwavering support.'”

Cavil, a leader in Des Moines' Defund the Police movement, shows the strategy of House Democrats as they try to gain back recent losses in the Iowa House. 

One thing is clear: Republicans stand with our men and women in law enforcement.

"Konfrst and the House Democrats should denounce this outright," said Republican Party of Iowa Co-Chair Linda Upmeyer. "Iowa law enforcement should have the support of our elected officials. This shouldn't even be up for debate."
