Republican United States Senate candidate Jim Carlin held meet and greet events in Knoxville and Pella on Wednesday. Carlin told KNIA/KRLS News why you should vote for him.

“First thing is, we need to make sure we have election integrity, and to do that you can watermark each ballot. I am a believer in medical freedom and I don’t feel that we should mandate vaccinations that have a history of killing people, hospitalizing people, and seriously injuring people. I am concerned about the global ambitions of China both militarily and economically, and big tech should not be given this control over data mining and into our private lives.”

Carlin, who is currently serving in the Iowa Senate, is running against Chuck Grassley for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination.
