The videos out of Minneapolis today are horrific. ICE is deliberately causing chaos, endangering lives and making our communities less safe.
We need law and order. ICE needs to leave Minnesota. Congress needs to do its job and end this chaos.

Our bipartisan constitutional amendment to end Citizens United's influence in Iowa is a commonsense step to roll back the corrupting power of dark money in politics.

It’s time to ban corporations from influencing our elections, and I’m proud to co-sponsor this constitutional amendment with Republican State Senator Dave Sires. Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court passed the Citizens United decision, which has corrupted our politics. It’s time to fight back.

Being a champion for reproductive rights means showing up to every fight. During my 7 years in State Senate I’ve fought back against Republican attacks on women’s rights and cosponsored dozens of bills to protect them.

There are some people in the Democratic Party saying we should weaken our stance on abortion to win elections. I want to make it clear: Iowa women can count on me to fight for their right to make their own healthcare decisions.

Joni “we’re all going to die” Ernst just endorsed my opponent. Honestly, not surprised. They share loyalty to the same corporate donors and DC party leaders. Iowans deserve better.

Ashley Hinson is starting 2026 the same way she ended 2025 - by voting to make Iowans’ health care more expensive. Whether it’s cuts to Social Security, Medicaid, or the Affordable Care Act, Ashley Hinson is hellbent on making our lives more expensive.

Ashley Hinson has sided with insurance companies and big pharma again and again while Iowans get screwed. If you want to know why, just look at who’s funding her campaign.
