In DC, politicians talk. I solve problems. I’m running to bring that Iowa work ethic to Washington.
We need to stop the corrupting influence of money in our elections and the shameless self-enrichment by career politicians. That's why I refuse to take corporate PAC funding, and why I've joined End Citizens United's campaign to ban Congressional stock trading & crack down on dark money in politics.

If you're like me and had your Small Business Saturday plans thwarted by the snowstorm, be sure to still get out and shop local this holiday season. Yesterday I stopped at Simply Iowa Market & Candle Company in Grundy Center. Thanks to Carrie for setting me up with one of her amazing candles!

I took a shift yesterday distributing Thanksgiving meals at the Northeast Iowa Area Food Bank in Waterloo. They had given out over 2,600 dinners and counting as of 2:00 pm - truly a monumental effort! Thanks to all of the donors and volunteers who made this happen.

I took some time away from campaigning to deliver food to folks in their homes for Meals on Wheels in Cedar Rapids. Thanks to Horizons Family Services for all the incredible work they do in our community!

Like @jamestalarico.bsky.social, my faith has driven the work I’ve done to build houses, grow food, and build community. We need more leaders in Congress who live out the commandment to “Love thy neighbor.”
James Talarico: Growing up, my church always really emphasized our love for our neighbors... It's no wonder I went into public service, first as a public school teacher, and then as a public official. It’s all motivated by that commandment to love my neighbor as myself

I stopped in Traer to check out their one-of-a-kind winding staircase. Traer is also home to one of the largest collections of salt and pepper shakers in the country. Definitely worth a visit. I love the gifted people and unique places that make northeast Iowa special!

Grace is battling brain cancer and is at risk of losing health coverage because Congress refuses to extend health care tax credits. Iowa’s current representatives won’t even speak to her about it.
Grace – and all of us – deserve better.

What a busy Saturday! Stopped at the Cedar Rapids HOPEwalk to support awareness and education on suicide prevention, took part in the world's largest cereal breakfast in Greene Square Park, and enjoyed some delicious ube hopia at the Cedar Rapids Asian Festival.

Great fun at National Cattle Congress in Waterloo last night! I spent some time visiting with voters at the Black Hawk County Democrats table, then enjoyed talking to folks who brought their animals to show.

Senator Grassley is right about this. Across-the-board tariffs are pushing our ag economy closer to the brink. I lived in rural Iowa through the 1980s farm crisis and saw banks close and families lose their farms. We can’t afford to go through that again.

Current economic policies, including across-the-board tariffs, are having a serious impact here in Iowa. I've said it before and I'll say it again: John Deere workers and their families should not have to bear the cost of this chaos in our economy.

I had fun earlier this week visiting with the Dubuque County Democrats! It was great to hear about the important work they’re doing to reach voters and support local candidates. An incredible group with lots of energy and commitment to making a difference in Dubuque County!

The pundits are beginning to see what we’ve known all along: northeast Iowa is in play and ready for change.
We’re moving Iowa’s 2nd District and North Carolina’s 11th District from Solid to Likely Republican, indicating that they have the potential to host competitive races next year.

We may not be in the same party, but I agree with Senator Barrasso on this.
Iowa is home to some of the best doctors in the world. The federal government should help them deliver quality care instead of taking a wrecking ball to our public health system. We can do better.
