Theresa Greenfield Evicted Iowa Small Businesses in Favor of Multinational Chain

A new report from the Washington Free Beacon has exposed Theresa Greenfield, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Iowa, for personally signing eviction notices for small businesses in Windsor Heights.

Washington Free Beacon: “Her company, Colby Interests, ‘blindsided’ the shopping center’s local tenants with eviction notices personally signed by Greenfield, according to small business owners who detailed the situation to the Des Moines Register and CBS affiliate KCCI at the time. Many of the owners had operated in the shopping center for decades, leaving them to scramble in search of a new location. Greenfield’s plan to bring the German grocer to the shopping center was ultimately rejected by the Windsor Heights city council following pushback from residents. The move came too late for the tenants, who had already been forced out after Greenfield hiked up rent in the location.”

This revelation sharply cuts against Greenfield’s dishonest campaign rhetoric, in which she consistently claims to be an ally of small businesses. In a stunning feat of hypocrisy, Greenfield recently emphasized the need to “make sure small businesses aren’t crowded out by big corporations,” despite doing exactly that while working for Colby Interests.
