Earning The Des Moines Register’s endorsement is an especially proud moment for this campaign, because they bring, as their motto says, “Real perspective, brought to you by real Iowans.” I feel like my prior service to this nation is now moving into the next chapter -- service in the US Senate. 

And that’s who I’m striving to serve. Real Iowans -- rural and urban, Democrat and Republican, farmer, educator, retiree, health professional, shop worker, vet, citizen, and immigrant. It will take effort, judgment, empathy, and vision to bring America back from these dire days; I am encouraged that The Des Moines Register views the future like I do.

We can do this!

From the fields of northwest Iowa where I grew up, to our growing urban downtowns -- everyone deserves to have their perspective heard and represented in Washington.

We asked for an “All Hands on Deck” effort through the primary election and we got it!

The Des Moines Register -- Iowa’s flagship newspaper -- endorsed the Admiral for the Senate. And they didn’t mince words:

It’s clear: Mike Franken is the Senator Iowans want, the experienced professional Iowa deserves, and the leader America needs.

But, we can’t win without the resources and support from grassroots Democrats ready to defeat Joni Ernst and wrest back the Senate from Mitch McConnell. Click here to make an immediate donation. Thank you!
