Iowa House Rep for Council Bluffs and Carter Lake. 4x Paralympian, 2x Gold Medalist in wheelchair basketball. Disability advocate.

Ready to be Iowa's next U.S. Senator.
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!

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.

While I’m here in Iowa fighting for Iowa families, Ashley Hinson is spending her time on a private island during a government shutdown. What’s with Republicans and private islands?

I know how to win against all odds, because I've done it before. I won in a district Trump won by going out every single day, crawling stairs, knocking doors, and dragging my wheelchair up to have conversations. And I'm gonna do it again.

Tariffs are devastating Iowa farmers.

Remember—Ashley Hinson wants this to continue.

I don’t. In the Senate, I’ll fight for our farmers and against this disastrous economic policy.

History should be taught accurately and unembellished. My father fought in Vietnam, was exposed to Agent Orange, and I was born with spina bifida. The greatest disservice to veterans is to oversimplify their sacrifice.

It doesn’t matter whether Joni Ernst is running or anyone else.

I know where I stand, and when I'm in the Senate, I'll never forget about Iowa.

I was born an underdog. I wasn't supposed to win the reddest seat held by a Democrat in Iowa. But, I campaigned like I played basketball: I outworked everyone.

And, I am ready to do the same in 2026. We will defeat Joni Ernst, together.
