We need more transparency about the allegations made against him to provide clarity in an incredibly difficult time for our community.

As a mom I want nothing more than our kids and educators to be safe everyday when they go to school.

Iowa is at its best when we come together to ensure that our laws are followed, for the safety and dignity of all. We need to fix our broken immigration system.

While we wait for more information to come to light, Dr Roberts deserves due process and I’m glad to hear he has legal counsel.

If you have money to give and want to beat Republicans, I suggest my friend Sarah Trone Garriott in Iowa against Zach Nunn. I can’t speak highly enough about Sarah, her character, and her electability in an R+3 seat. It’s a very winnable race with the right nominee

A great antidote for feelings of helplessness at what’s happening to our country is to get back out there and support the policies and people who will help change things!

We are back on the doors! I know that showing up makes the difference. It’s how I’ve won 3 back to back competitive races. It’s why Iowans know me as a legislator who serves my whole community.

You can help us reach voters!

4%.

That's the percent of money Zach Nunn raised from Iowans in the last reporting period.

Our campaign is different. Our campaign is funded by Iowans because I'm actually working for Iowans.
