Spent yesterday out in Calhoun County door knocking for @burnsforiowa.bsky.social with my friend @jdscholten.bsky.social! The winds of change are here, even out in Western Iowa, and it’s time we elect more Democrats up and down the ballot.
Support Rachel for House District 7 on December 9th!

Just thinking about my quote from April…
“At the national level, if Schumer is still leader, I don't know if I'm as interested. I think we need generational change, and that's I think part of the thing that's been holding us back in Iowa is the overall Democratic brand.”

Dems need to run everywhere in 2026! Just be yourself and make it about where you’re running.
In 2018, I ran for Congress in a district Trump won by 27 and I nearly upset a 20 year incumbent. 2026 has same potential.
A chance to expand the map is there! 🇺🇸
