Iowa Democrat Stacey Walker Not Running for Senate, Blames National Democrats freebeacon.com/politics/iowa-…
Walker isn't the only Iowa Democrat frustrated with the DSCC and national Democrats meddling in the Democratic primary.
Multiple Iowa Democrats, including attorney Kimberly Graham and businessman Eddie Mauro, have both gone after "D.C. insiders and the D.C. establishment" working behind the scenes in the primary.
"Democrats in Iowa want a spirited primary about the issues that affect their healthcare, jobs, their children’s education and the climate chaos that imperils our farms and communities," Mauro said in a statement.
. "This must not be a primary influenced by D.C. insiders and the D.C. establishment."
"It’s important in a democracy—if we’re going to try to say we have one—to at least speak to or return the calls of the other candidates that are other Democrats in that primary," Graham said.

This isn't the first time the DSCC has meddled in the Democratic primary of an Iowa Senate race. Bob Krause, who unsuccessfully ran to unseat Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) in 2016, criticized Schumer on Twitter.
"Having been there, I'm sympathetic with JD Shoulton's opposition to both "trickle-down economics" & "trickle-down politics." Why hold a primary in Iowa if it is already decided in New York?" Krause tweeted in late June. "It destroys nominee's credibility before race starts."
