Iowa Democrat Rob Sand says he is not campaigning to turn the state blue, but his rise may do so anyway, according to a Mother Jones profile. Sand, the state auditor turned gubernatorial candidate, has built crossover appeal with independent and Republican-leaning voters, and commentators see his candidacy as a test of whether Democrats can compete again in a state that has drifted firmly red in recent election cycles.
Why now: His gubernatorial campaign is being watched as a potential signal of a Democratic comeback in a Republican-leaning state.
