JON DUNWELL: I think what you saw happen here in Jasper County is exactly what's happening across the country. People are frustrated. People are disappointed.

And so we're going to continue here in Iowa, we're going to continue in Jasper County, working on the agenda that we believe the people have given to us. And we're going to continue to enact them and we're going to make life better here and across the nation. And we got to stop some of the craziness that we see happening in Washington, D.C.
