Republican Eddie Andrews, a state legislator from Johnston who’s running for governor, says it’s time to end the 20 day period of “early voting” in Iowa elections. Iowans have been voting in person at county auditors’ offices since May 13th, plus there’s voting by mail during Iowa’s early voting window. “I’m a fan of ‘Election Day’ not ‘Election Season,'” Andrews said. “We already have four seasons. We don’t need a fifth.” Andrews says he’s identified 17 other priority issues he’d pursue if elected governor, from banning the use of eminent domain for carbon pipelines to the eventual elimination of property taxes in Iowa.
