Yesterday, I was ecstatic to learn that J.D. Scholten, an up-and-coming progressive leader who nearly defeated Steve King in Iowa’s 4th, is once again running to end King’s hateful and divisive politics.
J.D. will be a real champion for rural America. He understands how to create opportunity for communities across the country, and has an incredible vision for the future. That’s why I’m proud to endorse his candidacy, and why I’m asking for your help right now.
From the beginning, J.D. has been fighting for opportunities for working-class and rural Americans. During a time of incredible economic upheaval, rural communities deserve a champion who will help bring jobs to the small towns that have been left behind.
From lack of access to high speed internet, to factory farms crushing the competition, to widening wealth inequality, working folks in Iowa and across the heartland deserve someone who will fight for them — not big corporations, and not xenophobes.
Steve King, who publicly asked when “white nationalist and white supremacist” became offensive. In this day and age, no person who defends that type of hateful mentality deserves a seat in Congress.
And if we all pitch in and fight to elect J.D. Scholten, King won’t have that seat for long.
Thanks for all that you do,
Ro
