We mobilized 30,000 volunteers to make calls and send texts to help Iowa Democrats and Catelin Drey's campaign get out the vote—winning a district that Donald Trump won by over 11 points in November.

It was a hot one today, but our volunteers can stand the heat. A fantastic end to the Spring Listening Tour, as we sent out 23 packets today. Thank you to everyone who gave their time to this effort. This is truly doing the work and we will keep doing this with you.

So many great speakers and so many out to support this townhall. We exceeded capacity 45 minutes before the event started. To Rep. Miller-Meeks- why won’t you come to Johnson County?

What happened in the Oval Office was beyond embarrassing. It created permanent damage for the U.S. as a global leader. Ernst needs to speak up against how Pres. Zelensky was treated and vocalize support of Ukraine and Democracy. Her silence is speaking volumes.
