It gets virtually zero dollars in defense spending and has no extraction (oil gas coal) industry in the state. It's actually the second highest wind energy state (behind Texas) and generates the highest percentage of it's electricity from wind of any state by far. High literacy and an engaged political populace helps too. Linn/Johnson counties has a large university/IT presence and even Dubuque has a substantial IBM workforce. IT tends to be left-center.
