Despite the popular rejection of the far left’s desire to defund the police, the Iowa activist still plans to try and do just that.

“We just won our campaign on a platform centered on Defunding the Police for Safety and Justice. It can be done. My goal for this city has always been to work from the bottom up. Not the top down,” Sheumaker said in a statement released on Tuesday.
