A real president. A TV president. You.
First, President Obama threw his support behind our campaign.
Then, Martin Sheen decided to back us, too.
A real president. A TV president. A four-time Paralympian. There’s one name missing from this list: YOURS.
Will you join President Obama and Martin Sheen in backing this Prairie Populist campaign by chipping in just $1 today? Seriously, $1. In a race this close, you never know what could tip the balance.

We’re all asking for your help for the same reason. Iowa is one of the most important Senate races in the country. It’s the seat that could decide control of the Senate. Three election forecasters rate it a toss-up and I’m neck-and-neck with my MAGA opponent in the polls.
President Obama knows what it takes to win in Iowa. Martin Sheen knows my story, from my dad’s 22 months in Vietnam to the 21 surgeries I endured as a kid, proving I have the grit to win this race.
They both know a chance like this doesn’t come around often.
Election Day is in 8 short days. That’s not a long time, but it’s enough to reach the thousands of voters who haven’t made their decisions yet. It’s enough to convince folks who planned to sit this election out to exercise their right to vote — but only with your support.
I don’t take a dime from corporate PACs, so I need you with me now more than ever.
