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!

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!

Incredible energy in Osage last weekend! Mitchell County is ready to go.

Thanks to the Howard County Democrats for putting together a fantastic event.

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.

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!

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.

This is our moment to make Iowa the great place that it can be. Join our movement today! www.clintforiowa.com

My statement on the news that Ashley Hinson has decided to run for Senate:

By electing Catelin Drey, Iowans have ended the supermajority in the state Senate and made it clear they want change. Congrats to Senator-elect Drey on her victory!

Great to be at the Wing Ding Dinner to share why I'm running for Congress in #IA-02!

I’m a pastor and nonprofit leader. I’ve spent my life solving problems – block by block, family by family.

I’m running for Congress to lower costs, protect Social Security and Medicare and invest in Iowa’s small towns.
