Washington, DC (northwestiowanow.com) — One of the Iowa Democrats elected to Congress this week believes Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should be replaced. Sarah Trone Garriott – who defeated incumbent Republican Zach Nunn by 7 percent – thinks outgoing US Senator Joni Ernst would be great in the position.

Democrat leaders are hinting at wide-spread investigations into members of the Trump Administration. Tron Garritt says investigation would be appropriate to root out corruption, but not for political retribution.

All four Congress people from Iowa – three Democrats and one Republican – will be new and are in Washington DC this week for orientation.
