CLEAR LAKE – The Iowa Republican party named 16 new members to its central committee Saturday at its four district convention locations.
Gabe Haugland of Clear Lake, a former attorney and now a trust officer at First Citizens Bank in Mason City, was elected at the fourth district convention in Storm Lake. Haugland is known to be an aspiring right wing politician who opposes same sex marriage and is anti-abortion.
Haugland is also chairman of the Cerro Gordo County Republican Party.
Matt,…now that’s some funny shit bro. Touche.
This article is ludicrous. Gabe is a personal friend. He is a great guy with a greater heart. He served this country and his interests lie in making a difference for good. What would you expect from him regarding the city races? It was the incumbents vs the looney toons.
Haugland opposes same sex marriage and abortion. This is a good character sign of a good moral compass. He gets an A+++
Haugland was lashing out via social media at Mason City citizens who were on the ballot for city office, calling them “anti-job” He gets a F- for this as he was very successful at getting our anti job Mayor Bookmeyer elected.
Haugland is known to be an aspiring right wing politician. ??? Attorneys are known for their left wing radical politics. He is a closet…
The writer included “anti-abortion” and yes “same-sex marriage” in the story in the second paragraph so, yes, the story DOES have something to do with abortion. The writer made it so. Maybe the writer of the story has issues. too? Paranoid about bankers much? How about veterans? Attorneys? Christians? Republicans got you spooked? Oohh, the boogey man Steve King? You know last time I checked this is America. We can disagree like grown-ups can’t we? On the issues not personal attacks? Try it!
SERIOUSLY???? So he is a horrible person for being anti-murder of our unborn children??? This is sick and wrong. I too am pro life. I too stand against the mass murdering of our unborn citizens. I too consider it offensive to have innocent babies murdered in the womb – torn apart limb by limb…. and then having their skulls crushed – all while they are alive and feeling every last bit of this torturous death. I stand with Mr. Haugland. I am pro life.
Marybeth, nothing new. Every party has them.
Just another bloviating Republican ignoramous!!
This makes you wonder about where the Republican Party is headed. If they do not change their direction they are headed for defeat. You can not attack the masses and threaten to take away their food an benefits and still expect to win. There are plenty of opportunity to reduce cost without taking away from people who need it. By that statement I am not supporting the leeches like Philly who are able to go to work like everyone else. I mean people who are truly unable to work.
