John –
After the start of Trump's second term, the first real sign of a potential Democratic resurgence came in Iowa. We narrowly flipped a State Senate District in late January that had supported Trump by 21 percent.
I'm pleased to say that last week, Democrats put up another incredible performance in my state. We came just 3 percent short of winning a State House District that Trump carried by nearly 30 points. Once again, this election took place in my former district and highlights just how winnable this congressional race can be.
What's happening in Iowa is a real-time testament to the backlash that far-right Republican policies are facing. Folks are enraged by Elon Musk's assault on people's privacy and finances, and they're determined to show their opposition to GOP plans that involve cutting Medicaid and Social Security.
The next step is to take this energy and harness it into something with lasting electoral and legislative power.
I'm proud to stand with Midwest Majority PAC (MMP) as it works to build a movement and activate voters who've long been ignored by national Democrats. I know that together, we can capture battleground Congressional districts – including at least 2 right here in Iowa – and elect a Democratic House that's ready to deliver on the pro-working class policies our country needs.
We have a long way to go, so any early support helps as we work to deliver a common-sense message across communities and mobilize folks. Can you pitch in today to boost MMP's critical work to flip the Midwest from red to blue?
Onward,
Dave Loebsack
Iowa Congressman (2007-2021)
