Iowa farmers are facing extremely tough times right now. Between foreign bailouts and costly trade wars, our farmers have been hit hard. Ashley Hinson thinks this is the "right direction." We're gonna defeat her next year.

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to my political hero and Iowa legend Sen. Tom Harkin!

Zach Nunn backs 1-year ACA subsidy extension, warns against shutdowns to negotiate policy After recognizing aviation employees' work in the government shutdown, Nunn said in an exclusive interview he backs a 1-year ACA subsidy extension.

Even while other members of the Iowa delegation commit to doing the bare minimum to protect Iowans from skyrocketing health care costs, Ashley Hinson is silent. And we all know why: she’ll side with Big Pharma, corrupt billionaires, and D.C. donors over Iowans every time.

Prices are simply too high for most Iowans right now, and it’s a direct result of a chaotic tariff policy that hurts both our farmers and our wallets.

In the Senate, I’ll fight for policies that actually lower costs for your families.

Ashley Hinson did not sign onto the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, but Iowans are demanding that she vote YES when it comes to a full House vote. We need transparency. We need accountability. We don't need our voice in Washington covering for Jeffrey Epstein.

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!

Happy Veterans Day to all those who have served our nation, including my father, a Vietnam veteran, and my nephew, who is currently serving in the Coast Guard. Thank you for your service and sacrifice to protect our nation. We owe you a debt of gratitude.

'It's insane': ACA policyholders say soaring health insurance premiums are jeopardizing lives Colorado mom Astrid Storey, a thyroid cancer patient with an autoimmune disorder, was recently notified of a jump in her monthly premiums under the Affordable Care Act.

Affordable Care Act premiums are set to skyrocket because politicians like Ashley Hinson would rather bailout their billionaire donors than support everyday Iowans. We need to reopen the government and keep healthcare costs low. It's that simple. abcnews.go.com/US/insane-ac...

I’ve traveled 5,000+ miles across Iowa so far and I’m seeing and hearing that Iowans are hurting, especially our farmers. Rural Iowa deserves a Senator who will fight for them.https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/26/us/politics/iowa-trump-economy.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

What a great time at the IowAbility fair yesterday!

When I was a kid, Iowa's Senator Tom Harkin passed the ADA to make sure doors were open for folks like me.

I’m fighting to give disabled Iowans a voice in the Senate.

Humboldt Iowa was fired up at last night's soup supper! Shoutout to the Humboldt County Democrats who are ready to take back our state and elect a common sense leader to the Senate.

I represent the reddest district held by a Democrat in Iowa. I’ve won tough races by showing up, listening, and working harder than anyone else. That’s exactly how I’ll serve you in the U.S. Senate.

As we deal with uncertainty in agriculture, we appreciate the men and women who do the work everyday, the farmer. This #NationalFarmersDay I’m fighting for competition, more markets and more independence.

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?

🚨 In only 49 days, we've raised a record $1 million with contributions from all 99 counties across Iowa. In 2026, we are taking back Iowa's Senate seat. Get on board, and let's win this together.

First Ashley Hinson voted to cut thousands of Iowans off their healthcare. Now, instead of voting to protect Iowans healthcare costs from going up, she's not doing the job we sent her to DC to do and is instead shutting down the government.

Trump Says He Wants to Give Aid to Struggling Farmers

Donald Trump’s tariffs are screwing over soybean farmers across Iowa.

There’s no plan to protect them. Revenue has already begun to fall as China has nearly stopped purchasing product. We must reverse these tariffs now. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/b...

Become a Founding Donor! Josh has the grit and determination it’ll take to beat Joni Ernst. Will you chip in today to help him win Iowa’s U.S. Senate seat?

Remember when we won a special election in Iowa last month that broke the Republican super majority in the state senate?

Well, we’re about to bring that same energy to the United States Senate race next year.

Let’s take back this seat. secure.actblue.com/donate/bs_we...

Ashley Hinson voted to gut Medicaid and SNAP for thousands of Iowans. She voted to make health care more expensive for Iowans.

She claims to be different from Joni Ernst, but it’s a lie.

Hinson is the reason you may lose your health insurance or pay more.

My district voted for Trump twice. But folks here gave me a shot because I show up, listen, and work hard. I ran on common-sense, bipartisan leadershipβ€”and that’s exactly what I’m delivering.
