Stacy Besch: Fighting Giants June 2nd

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2121032/fan_mail/new] This week Troy welcomes back Iowa Senate District 5 Republican Primary Candidate Stacy Besch. Since November, Stacy has been beating the streets contacting Republican primary voters and spreading the word about her candidacy. Tomorrow, Iowans head to the polls for the 2026 primaries and if Stacy earns the win from the voters in District 5 she will be the new State Senator as there is no Democratic challenger. See why she's been fighting giants during this campaign as dark monies flow in from different sectors of the party with less than one seventh of the campaign funds compared to her incumbent opponent and learn about the nasty lies they've been perpetuating in these last few weeks and perhaps why they are running scared she might win and shake things up! Talk about being the Sunnyside of Life for District 5! Support the show [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sunnysideoflife]

Tom and Spencer for Hire

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2121032/fan_mail/new] This week at Sunnyside, Troy shares his opinion on two primary candidates on the national scene he thinks should win their respective races but that doesn't mean everyone agrees (as usual). When it comes to the Sunnyside of Life, it's hard to find a couple of candidates more self-deprecating and likable than Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky's 4th District and LA Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt. Both men are up for hire and there are a lot people (and money) working against their common sense and transparent approach to the respective levels of government in which they seek to serve.
