I am Democratic US Senate Candidate in Iowa, Kimberly Graham. AMA!

Posted: 12 Nov 2019 10:30 AM PST

Hi there! My name is Kimberly Graham and I am a progressive Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, running against Republican incumbent Joni Ernst.

My Mom had me when she was a teenager and my dad was in the Marines, but my parents ultimately found good union jobs that kept food on the table and a stack of books on my shelf. Working my way through college as a flight attendant and volunteer union organizer for 13 years, I earned a bachelor's degree and then a law degree from Drake University.

I eventually went on to become an attorney and for 20 years have been an advocate for abused or neglected children and for parents in the Iowa courts. Seeing the effects of our broken system, I decided to run for US Senate to try to change things from the beginning, rather than putting bandaids on things.

I spent 25 years living in Indianola, Iowa, where we raised our son, Max. I now reside on the south side of Des Moines.

Discussion Thread: Day One of House Public Impeachment Hearings | William Taylor and George Kent - Part II- Live Now

Posted: 13 Nov 2019 08:58 AM PST

Today the House Intelligence Committee will hold public hearings in preparation for possible Impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. Expected to testify are William Taylor, the top diplomat in Ukraine, and George Kent, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian affairs.

The hearings are scheduled to begin at 10:00 EST. You can watch live online on CSPAN or PBS or most major networks.


Reportedly, today's hearing will follow a unique format, and will look/sound a bit different to those of you that are familiar with watching House hearings.

The day will start with opening statements from House Intel Chair Adam Schiff, ranking member Devin Nunes, and both witnesses, William Taylor and George Kent.

Opening statements will be followed by two 45 minute long continuous sessions of questioning. The first will be led by Chair Adam Schiff, followed by Ranking Member Nunes. The unique aspect here is that both the majority and minority will have staff legal counsel present, with counsel expected to present many, if not most, of the questions. Chair Schiff and Ranking Member Nunes are free to interject their own questions (during their respective times) as they wish.

Following the two 45 minute sessions, each member of the Intel Committee will be afforded the standard 5 minute allotment of time for their own questions. The order will alternate between Dem/GOP members.

Today's hearing will conclude with closing statements by Chairman Schiff and Ranking Member Nunes, and is expected to come to a close around 4pm EST
