This is the first year in my memory that the Iowa Chapter did not endorse at least one Republican. The Iowa Republican party has effectively purged any environmentalists from their party.

You (the SC) can't focus only on the "bought and paid for Dems.." ... that scares the electorate into thinking that only the Dems are corrupted ....(the TEA party has demonstrated that) The electorate now has an image that the Republicans are moderates like Robert Ray and Branstad in his eariler days.. You (the SC) have to Educate the electorate on How the Wing nuts have taken over the Iowa Republicans.. some are single issue anti-abortion types...and some hang on to the Reagan slogan that "Government is the Problem.."
So you must discredit the Republicans who are Bought and paid for.. Get water samples of downstream pollution from Hog Confinement and Manure spills... Get the Data on how Iowa is losing its topsoil.. along with the Nitrates that have made the Mississippi Green with algae..."The Mississippi Mud is the best of Iowa... Not just Mud" .... get the dirt on Who is going to bat for the Polluters... The Republicans do not want to fund education.... they do not want environmental legislation.. their slogan could be "Keep them (the electorate) Dumb" so the electorate will "follow Blindly" ..... If you discredit the Republicans then the Dems will see they are Next in the SC sights.. so they better move to the Green side..
In Iowa the advances in yields using Hybrid Soybeans, Corn, and Hogs have been part of our "up-bringing"... Improvement through Science...It is impossible to fight that impression... but if the SC could publish how much money the "niche" or the "other Agriculture" shown at Farmers markets amounts to..... then you will have sharper weapons in the battle.... why do you think Congressman Latham does so well .... he has signs up in so many cornfields year round... and folks relate Latham Hybrid to "something good"... even though we know Latham is out for only the corporate Good...
That's how I see "What to do"... Ken Larson

But, (since I'm already being cynical this morning...) I believe neither party will give Francis much support if he gets in.
