Leighton, Iowa – The race for the Iowa Senate district 40 is nearly a year away, but Republican incumbent Ken Rozenboom made a political statement this past week, by hosting a fundraiser at Tassel Ridge Winery near Leighton, Iowa.

In attendance were many of his caucus members in the Iowa Senate, including minority leader Bill Dix. Special guest speaker of the evening was Carly Fiorina.

Fiorina is seeking the Republican nomination for President. During her career, she has been the CEO of Hewlitt-Packard. Fiorina has been placed squarely against Democratic Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.

Fiorina was fresh in Iowa from an appearance on Bill O’Rielly on Fox News, saying it was “so refreshing to be back in Iowa”.

“I’m a conservative because I know not one of us is any better than any one of us.” This was Fiorina’s answer to a question asked of her in a recent interview. “All of us have God given gifts. All of us can live lives of dignity and purpose and meaning.”

For the upcoming election in 2016, Fiorina believes it’s not just about Republicans vs. Democrats. “It’s not just about Hillary Clinton versus… lets say, Carly Fiorina. Go on, admit it. You’d love to see that,” said Fiorina.

“I actually think this election is a fight over whether conservative values, principles and policies will guide this nation going forward, or left-wing progressive values and policies will. And I think that is of huge consequence,” added Fiorina. “I think we have to reintroduce conservationism to the American people; so they know it applies and lifts everyone up.”

Fiorina said that progressives are ready to sacrifice other people lives and livelihoods, “at the alter of their ideology”.

Fiorina spoke of the most recent Planned Parenthood video that allegedly shows those involved with Planned Parenthood selling off aborted fetus organs. She stated, “this doesn’t matter if you’re pro-life or pro-choice, just for a moment imagine the hypocrisy of lobbying against a woman’s right to see an ultrasound of her unborn child before she chooses to have an abortion or not.”

Fiorina said that Hillary Clinton has lobbied against the idea of seeing the ultrasound, “so have most of the Democrat party. And yet, using that same technology to determine how best to abort an unborn child so you can harvest their body parts. Think of the hypocrisy of that position.”

Fiorina said that Democrats don’t see the baby as a life, “until it leaves the hospital”.

“That, ladies and gentlemen, is disrespect and disregard for the potential of every human being,” blasted Fiorina.

In a media availability afterwards, Oskaloosa News asked Fiorina what a Hillary vs. Carly decision for the American people would be like. Carly’s answer, “There’s a whole set of things Hillary would not get to talk about. She wouldn’t get to talk about being the first woman president.”

“What she would have to talk about is her own track record, or lack there of… of accomplishment and leadership. She would have to answer questions about her lack of trustworthiness,” said Fiorina, who promised to ask Clinton every question that the media hasn’t asked the former First Lady.

“Why did you lie about Bengazi?” asked Fiorina of Clinton. “Why did you withhold emails? And why did you destroy emails?”

Before leaving the winery, Fiorina greeted the hosts, shook hands with those in attendance, and posed for photos.
