New standing committee leaders Sens. Janet Petersen, D-Des Moines, commerce; Rita Hart, D-Wheatland, economic development; Rob Hogg, D-Cedar Rapids, government oversight; Steve Sodders, D-State Center, judiciary; Tony Bisignano, D-Des Moines, labor/business relations; Rich Taylor, D-Mount Pleasant, local government, and Horn, veterans affairs.
It was my understanding that Boss Hogg used to be head of the judiciary committee and let the bills die there. So if Hogg is out, what do we know about Senator Sodders? |

Sodders was in the did not reply category from the scoreboard thread.

Sodders is a D....but unless he's a complete turd he's gotta be better than Hogg.

So Hogg is now in an even less suited committee (a career politician who pays games in oversight?), though it may or may not be good for us.

Maybe Hogg ducked out because he didn't want to take the pressure or get flooded with emails?

Regardless of the reason Hogg is no longer chair of the Judiciary Committee, and we're theoretically in a better position than we previously were. When I saw the news last night I did some quick digging. Hogg has an F rating by the NRA (no surprise). Sodders was given a C+ rating in 2012 (note, his grade may have changed since then). We're moving in the right direction. It's somewhat uncharted territory, but that's a good thing. We're really going to have to step our coordination. This legislative session just got a lot more interesting that's for certain. |

I highly doubt he gives two shits it may not have been hogg's decision. if i were mike gronstal, took stock of the recent election sway, and looked at how much and how often hogg walked right up to a camera just to say to iowans "too bad, i'm not doing what i don't want to do" i might make somebody else the judiciary chair with no loss of sleep. |

Until the start of the session? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=iowa+legislative+session+2015
Seriously though, I hope suppressors are an issue this year again. IFC/NRA will likely pick something based on a calculated strategy, and they've pushed different issues every year since shall issue finally passed. 2011 - Mourning Dove season 2012 - SYG & RKBA Amendment 2013 - Permit confidentiality 2014 - Suppressors 2015 - ? http://iowafc.org/victories/ |

So when do we start pushing for suppressors? Lol. I will be in contact with my Senator soon, i believe he introduced the bill last year, so i'm sure he'll be game for another go around.
