John —

Sometimes it can get lonely being the only elected Democrat from Northwestern Iowa in the state House. When Kim Reynolds and her cronies are forcing extremist bills through the legislature – bills that I know (and they know) don't represent our community's values – I'm proud to stand up for working Iowans.

And I'll admit, sometimes it feels like I am yelling into the wind. But here's what keeps me going:

You.

So, when Kim Reynolds won our district by 10 points in 2022, I knew we needed to grow our grassroots campaign right here in Sioux City because we deserve better.

Better than Reynolds and her extremists; better than book bans and bathroom bills; better than the MAGA hacks that claim to represent Iowans. We need a movement that stands up for what's right and stands tall for all.

Can I count on you to join our grassroots campaign and build the movement that Iowans need?

I got into politics because I saw where extremists were taking our state and now I am running for re-election to ensure our state never gets there.

But this race is by no means in the bag. If Reynolds can win in our town, then so can another extremist Republican. We need to rally together, grow our team, and fight for Iowa.

We are only 9 days away from 2024, and we need to hit the ground running so we can start organizing our community. Can I count on you to chip in and fuel the fight?

Stand Tall For All.

J.D.
