That’s what my race came down to when I ran for Iowa’s Second Congressional District in 2020. After months of hard work and thousands of conversations, six votes sent a Republican to Congress instead of a Democrat.
That’s one more Republican vote to dismantle our reproductive rights. One more vote for an economy that doesn’t work for Iowa families. One more vote that fails to protect our environment and blocks progress on gun violence.
Just 7 more votes would have changed the outcome of my race. That’s why it’s so alarming that 90,000 registered Iowa Democrats who voted in 2018 didn’t vote in the last election.
Seven votes is one more volunteer shift. It’s 7 people asking a friend to join them at the polls. It’s 7 people waking up on Election Day and deciding to make their voice heard.
I know firsthand the difference a handful of votes can make. That’s why the Iowa Democratic Party is working overtime to make sure every Democrat casts their vote this year.
Together, we have the power to transform our state.
Thank you, Rita Hart Chair, Iowa Democratic Party
