Why can’t people see that the level of incompetence in this administration has lead to irreparable harm & more is to come?!

We mobilized 30,000 volunteers to make calls and send texts to help Iowa Democrats and Catelin Drey's campaign get out the vote—winning a district that Donald Trump won by over 11 points in November.

Catelin Drey has won the Iowa State Senate special election, breaking the GOP supermajority.

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.

But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

It was a hot one today, but our volunteers can stand the heat. A fantastic end to the Spring Listening Tour, as we sent out 23 packets today. Thank you to everyone who gave their time to this effort. This is truly doing the work and we will keep doing this with you.

Our spring Listening Tour is wrapping up this weekend, and now is a great chance to hit the doors with us if you haven't yet. We will be out there listening to the concerns of our neighbors and friends and sharing their stories.

A Listening Tour is not canvassing as usual. It focuses on listening to Iowans’ stories, rather than collecting voter data or using persuasion to support a candidate. We will engage in conversations to maintain strong grassroots connections, and to show our commitment to hearing people’s concerns.

We are going on a Listening Tour across Johnson Co. If you want to show that Dems care and that we listen, this is for you.

Training Sessions

Tues, April 22, 6:30-7:30pm

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

Babe... babe... wake up...
New list of corporations to boycott is about to drop.

I've started to realize that Anne Frank and her family wouldn't have been safe around a lot of people I know and loved and once respected.

That's not something you get over.

So many great speakers and so many out to support this townhall. We exceeded capacity 45 minutes before the event started. To Rep. Miller-Meeks- why won’t you come to Johnson County?

The most startling iteration of this Trump regime is the realization that millions and millions of my fellow Americans live without any ethical framework whatsoever.
