So now both Axne and Finkenauer are on their list. Maybe JD Scholten is next?

Abby Finkenauer IA-01

Abby, a first-generation college graduate and Iowa State Representative, launched her campaign in April and is a proven advocate for working families. This is a historically Democratic district -- President Obama won twice -- that represents a top takeover opportunity for Democrats. An NBC News profile designated Abby as the candidate with what it takes to win.

Cindy Axne IA-03

Democratic candidate Cindy Axne is a 5th-generation Iowan, small business owner, mother, and first-time candidate running in this district. She grew up in Des Moines and worked for nearly a decade in state government to hold it accountable and successfully advocated for all-day kindergarten for every child in West Des Moines. In Congress, she will work to get results for Iowa families and advocate for better jobs, higher wages and access to affordable health care.

1. Good to hear - I think we can take both

and I am so optimistic that I think Scholten has a shot in the 4th!
