In the spirit of honesty

I don’t come from a well-connected family. I’m not a born “insider.” I didn’t go to a fancy prep school, and I didn’t have anyone pulling strings on my behalf.
I was never destined to be a United States Senator.
To put it another way, a kid like me growing up to be a United States Senator is about as likely as a screen door protecting a submarine.
Yet here I am. Inches away from flipping this seat and going to fight for fellow underdogs on Capitol Hill.
The fact that I’ve made it this far is proof that Iowans are sick and tired of corruption, lies, and broken promises.
From firefighters in Coralville to students in Sioux City to waitresses in Anamosa, pipefitters in Davenport, line cooks in Charles City, teachers, truck drivers, and nurses from every corner of the state, I’m proud to have the support of working-class people who represent the best of Iowa.
In the spirit of honesty, I’ll warn you I’m about to ask for your financial support. That’s because my Senate campaign takes exactly $0.00 from corporate PACs, Election Day is just 4 days away, and with MAGA outspending us on TV ads by a 2:1 margin we can’t afford to show any sign of weakness.
Want to help me send a message to the people trying to buy this election? A last-minute wave of grassroots investment in our campaign will do exactly that.




Thank you,
