Not every video goes to plan, but it’s snow big deal. I can handle it.

As we hit the 6th month mark of the campaign and close out 2025, Team Wahls is reflecting on the many milestones of the campaign.

Our team was proud to stand with @sbworkersunited.org in Des Moines and Iowa City who are on strike for more predictable schedules and better pay.

Starbucks has the highest CEO-to-worker pay gap of any company on the S&P 500. It’s time for these giant corporations to pay workers their fair share.

The Senate failed to do the bare minimum yesterday on healthcare, but a two year extension of the ACA tax credits aren’t enough: we need a permanent extension.
US Senate rejects dueling health care bills. How Iowa senators voted:
The US Senate rejected a bill to extend expiring ACA subsidies, leaving little time to stop health care premiums from spiking for Obamacare enrollees.

Polls just closed in the HD7 special election.

Rachel Burns has run a campaign focused on making Iowans lives better and made huge strides in a tough district in Northwest Iowa.

We’re seeing big things in these specials. Keep your eyes on Iowa.

Thanks to everyone who braved the snow to join us in Waterloo this weekend.

One story from a woman named Cheryl will stay with me. Cheryl and her husband are retired and are paying more of their income on groceries now than when they were raising two boys.

Chloe, Elijah, Zelda, and I are all wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful, joyful, and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving.

Iowans need a Senator focused on bringing down costs for families rather than giving handouts to their billionaire and corporate donors. It's time to take on the corruption in DC and put money back in Iowans' pockets.

I launched my campaign for US Senate because Iowans need someone fighting to make their lives better. Team Wahls volunteers stepped up this week to put that mission into action.

Together, we packaged and donated over 1,200 pounds of food for Iowa families. Thank you to everyone who joined us.

Jill Shudak just won a historic race for Mayor of Council Bluffs against an entrenched establishment. She did it by showing up, listening, and focusing on how to make peoples’ lives better.

Another day of service! Team Wahls harvested over 2200 heads of lettuce from WesleyLife’s hydroponic farm in Des Moines, most of which are used in their meals on wheels program.

Another great group of volunteers out in Linn Co serving their community. Thanks to everyone who showed up to help pack food boxes for HACAP this morning.

My team drove out to Wright County to ask Gary why he was supporting our campaign - they got a little more than they were bargaining for :)

Thank you to our amazing volunteers who pitched in during our Giving Week of Action to help the Dubuque food pantry pack their biggest delivery of the week!

Mayor-elect Jill Shudak’s victory in Council Bluffs is proof that when Iowa Democrats fight for working people, we win. I’m proud to have her support for my campaign. Let's get to work.
