Endorsement alert, John!

In 2018, Democracy for America strongly supported Democrat J.D. Scholten,
who narrowly lost to Republican incumbent Steve King in Iowa’s 4th
congressional district. Now, J.D. wants a rematch in 2020, and we just
officially endorsed him.

A native son of Iowa, J.D. was inspired to run for Congress when his
grandmother asked him to return to the family farm and take care of the
community. After her death, he answered her call to action and ran for
office to serve his state. Iowa farmers and residents need J.D. We all
need J.D. to rid the Congress of Steve King.

Here’s the thing: Steve King is white nationalists’ favorite member of
Congress.

He is the epitome of the growing acceptance of racism and white supremacy
in Washington. Not only has he retweeted neo-Nazis on multiple occasions
and spouted bigoted beliefs -- he literally told the New York Times “White
nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that
language become offensive?” -- but he’s also been embraced by the
notorious neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer as “one of their own.” They
said he’s “basically a white nationalist at this point,” and they consider
that a good thing.

Somehow, King has remained in Congress for the past 15 years despite his
clear hatred for people of color and immigrants. With the spread of
dangerous white nationalism and growing domestic terrorism targeting
non-white communities, we need to do whatever it takes to stand up to hate
and kick racists’ and neo-Nazis’ favorite member of Congress out of office
for good.

And J.D. has what it takes to do it. In 2018, he lost by merely 2,500
votes, or 3 points, in a district that Donald Trump won by 27 points in
2016. That’s a razor-thin margin in one of the most conservative
congressional districts in the country, showing the power of his
grassroots campaign.

Not only will J.D. combat hate but he will be an advocate for affordable
healthcare, stand up for working families and farmers, and be a true
representative of ALL the people of Iowa.

Let’s send Steve King, Donald Trump, and the white nationalists a message
that words have consequences, and hate belongs nowhere in our country,
especially not in our nation’s capital.
