Iowa elected officials, candidates respond to U.S.-Israel attack on Iran
Many elected officials and candidates for office in Iowa released statements Saturday in response to the major attack on Iran.
“It is never the political class that pays the price. It is working-class communities. It is the sons and daughters of mechanics, nurses, factory workers, and farmers." Thank you to The Gazette for publishing my press release. I will never remain silent, when working class lives are put at risk.

Holidays with my family are always full of laughs, hugs and memories. We have never had much, but we have always had each other and that has always been enough
I am thankful for my family and for the love that has carried us through every struggle. Being with them reminds me why I am in this fight.

We’re so excited for this! Let’s all do our part to help Amy and Clara get elected, they’ll do amazing things for Iowa City... and there is nowhere in Iowa City I would rather be than Kitty Corner Social Club. Come hear from all 3 of us and then let's go get the word out about their campaigns.

Democrat running for Iowa’s First Congressional District invites opponents to primary debate
A Democrat running for Iowa’s First Congressional District is inviting other Democrats to a debate ahead of primaries in 2026.
When I launched this campaign I promised I wasn't here to play it safe, I'm here because the working class deserves a voice in Congress. I'll do everything in my power to give them that voice. Healthy debate is fundamental to democracy. #iowa

Tonight, our campaign officially sent out a debate invitation to our opponents in the Democratic primary for December 3rd
Every candidate who wants to represent this district should be willing to stand on a stage, answer tough questions, and speak directly to the people they’re asking to trust them

I’m so damn honored to receive the endorsement of the Quad Cities Coalition for Palestine
I’m beyond thankful for their faith in me and even more thankful for the incredible work they’ve done in elevating the voices of the Palestinian people.

If Greta Thunberg, had not been on the ships taking aid to Gaza that were hijacked by Israel, I am almost positive there would have been casualties. We have to end netanyahu's genocide of Palestinians. There are several active groups in Iowa City and the quad cities that are fighting back

We've got a lot of work to do if we want to fix the damage that has been inflicted on #iowa but they can be fixed and it starts with electing caring people. Let's fight for the change that we deserve. #change #democrat #democracy

Candidates love bragging about their “first day haul” of hundreds of thousands of dollars, then turn around and call themselves grassroots.
Let’s be honest.
Campaigns that start with hundreds of thousands in DC money are not grassroots.
They’re part of the problem.

As Medicaid cuts kill rural hospitals and AI wipes out millions of jobs, the gap between the wealthiest in this country and the rest of us will only grow wider.
What used to be called progressive ideas like Medicare for All are quickly becoming survival ideas.

If billionaires paid taxes at the same rate as the working class, we could end homelessness and hunger in this country many times over.
But instead, they pay less than teachers, nurses, and grocery clerks, while millions go without shelter or food.

Let's beat Miller-Meeks together!
Chip in today to show them just how strong the working class really is!
Hey folks. I've got an ask for everyone who supports the campaign. I've set a goal to raise $2,500 by the end of the month. Do you think you could chip in $1 to help us beat Miller-Meeks and fuel this working class campaign? secure.actblue.com/donate/terel...

One question I get a lot is, “Why don’t you face Rep. Miller-Meeks in person?” The truth is, she’s the one hiding. She has ducked me at every turn, just like she hides from anyone who asks a question she doesn’t have a corporate sponsored script for.
Here's her next shot to show up.
