I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream.
Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

Ashley Hinson did not sign onto the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, but Iowans are demanding that she vote YES when it comes to a full House vote. We need transparency. We need accountability. We don't need our voice in Washington covering for Jeffrey Epstein.

Hard work. Grit. Determination. That's the blueprint I used to win a seat Donald Trump won by double digits. I'm bringing the same energy to flipping this Senate seat, because it's time we have a Senator from Iowa who is working for the people.

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!

Happy Veterans Day to all those who have served our nation, including my father, a Vietnam veteran, and my nephew, who is currently serving in the Coast Guard. Thank you for your service and sacrifice to protect our nation. We owe you a debt of gratitude.

Affordable Care Act premiums are set to skyrocket because politicians like Ashley Hinson would rather bailout their billionaire donors than support everyday Iowans. We need to reopen the government and keep healthcare costs low. It's that simple. abcnews.go.com/US/insane-ac...

When I was a kid, Iowa's Senator Tom Harkin passed the ADA to make sure doors were open for folks like me.
I’m fighting to give disabled Iowans a voice in the Senate.

I represent the reddest district held by a Democrat in Iowa. I’ve won tough races by showing up, listening, and working harder than anyone else. That’s exactly how I’ll serve you in the U.S. Senate.

As we deal with uncertainty in agriculture, we appreciate the men and women who do the work everyday, the farmer. This #NationalFarmersDay I’m fighting for competition, more markets and more independence.

Ashley Hinson is hanging with billionaires and begging for campaign cash as service members are forced to go to food banks because they’re not receiving paychecks during the government shutdown.
This is not acceptable. Iowans, and Americans, deserve better.

Iowa farmers are struggling right now. Instead of having to bail out our farmers, we should never have put them in this position in the first place. Reverse the tariffs, and let’s get our farmers back to making revenue.

Norman Bourlag was an Iowan who saved more than one billion lives with his work on disease resistant wheat.
There's a reason why Iowa is known for feeding the world: our farmers are top notch.
Unfortunately, Ashley Hinson supports policies that are bankrupting them instead of supporting them.

First Ashley Hinson voted to cut thousands of Iowans off their healthcare. Now, instead of voting to protect Iowans healthcare costs from going up, she's not doing the job we sent her to DC to do and is instead shutting down the government.

Donald Trump’s tariffs are screwing over soybean farmers across Iowa.
There’s no plan to protect them. Revenue has already begun to fall as China has nearly stopped purchasing product. We must reverse these tariffs now. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/b...

Ashley Hinson voted to gut Medicaid and SNAP for thousands of Iowans. She voted to make health care more expensive for Iowans.
She claims to be different from Joni Ernst, but it’s a lie.

My district voted for Trump twice. But folks here gave me a shot because I show up, listen, and work hard. I ran on common-sense, bipartisan leadership—and that’s exactly what I’m delivering.
