Theresa Greenfield, a Democratic challenger to Republican incumbent Joni Ernst in the U.S. Senate race, traveled to California last year for a series of fundraisers, hosted by groups like Electing Women Bay Area and Indivisible Marin.

Greenfield previously ran for Congress in 2018 but was disqualified before the primary.

“While Greenfield kowtows to coastal elites in California, she’s simultaneously running social media ads trying to mislead Iowans into thinking she’s crisscrossing the state, since such appearances are increasingly rare," a post published on the Iowa GOP website wrote. “Unsurprisingly, Theresa Greenfield has shown no desire to quit her game of dodgeball with the voters of Iowa and hold town halls since her rare stops result in embarrassing gaffes. It’s clear that Greenfield’s gaffe-prone candidacy is exactly why Chuck Schumer prefer she stay in a “windowless basement” and fundraise with coastal liberals rather than talk to Iowans or the press.”

The U.S. Senate primary election is scheduled for June 2, 2020.
