Iowa’s getting hit with a lot of snow today, so first things first: don’t go out unless it’s safe.
But when you can, I hope you’ll support our small businesses across the state. Yesterday in downtown Davenport, I was reminded how many folks are working hard and investing in our communities.

This issue goes to the heart of something larger than the office I’m running for. As a former Navy Helicopter pilot, I feel obligated to condemn these attacks against Senator Mark Kelly and his colleagues.

I had the opportunity to meet with folks in Elkader this past Sunday to share how our campaign for Secretary of State is going, and answer some questions too. Thank you to the Clayton County Democrats for putting on a great candidate forum!

I’m so happy I could help out at the Iowa Democratic Party’s food drive this weekend. Our campaign is about so much more than any one person. It’s about coming together to help our neighbors and serve our communities.

Spent last night down in Keokuk for the Lee County Democrats annual Eppers-O’Malley dinner. An incredible venue, and an even more incredible group of people! Congratulations to all the award winners!

Today, I’m thinking about the people I served alongside… and all those who came before and after us.
When you raise your right hand, you make a promise. You give up comfort, time with family, and sometimes far more than that. To every veteran, thank you.

As military ballots from last week's election can continue to be counted today, this court case suddenly puts them in jeopardy for next year's election. We must do everything we can to make sure our voices are heard.

It was great to be in Hiawatha earlier this week to speak at the Linn County Democrats central committee meeting! If you’re in the area and weren’t able to make it to the meeting, I’ll be back in Cedar Rapids Saturday night for their Hall of Fame dinner—hope to see you there!

Incredible turnout in Davenport for the No Kings rally. There were thousands from across the Quad Cities showing up, speaking out, and standing up for our rights. The movement for change doesn’t stop here. We’ll carry it to the ballot box.

During my time in the Navy I saw what good leadership looks like—and we need much better leadership over in Des Moines right now. As Secretary of State I’ll bring those lessons in leadership with me to work every single day.

I'm proud to have served our country in the Navy for over 10 years. Happy 250th Birthday to the United States Navy!

Spent the weekend talking to voters in Poweshiek and Howard counties. As I continue traveling all across the state, it’s clear that Iowans want elections that are not only secure—but accessible too. We can, and must have both.

It was great to participate in the Eastern Iowa rural revival candidate forum on Sunday. So many great questions and conversations, including our discussion about the need to ensure every eligible voter in both urban and rural Iowa has access to the ballot box.
