Folks, 

There’s a lot happening here in Iowa. We have four competitive House races, nationally watched Senate and Governor’s races, and some tough local elections.

With all that’s going on next year, we know there are a lot of races and candidates you can donate to. And we encourage you to donate to candidates you really believe in!

But as the only organization in Iowa supporting Democrats winning up and down the ballot, we’re making the case for why you should give to the Iowa Democratic Party, too.

To put it simply: Democrats will have a much harder time winning elections if we don’t have a strong central organization backing them up.

With all of the momentum IDP had at the beginning of the year, we were able to help Democrats overperform by 25 points in all three of our 2025 special elections!

We can do big things when we have the resources to build a stronger Democratic infrastructure statewide. From the U.S. Senate to school board elections, we need to sustain our grassroots energy to win in the future.

But we’ve hit what we call the “summer slump,” where our fundraising is in a slump just as we’re beginning to ramp up our summer organizing efforts. We can’t slow down now, which is why we’re asking:

Will you donate $5, $10, $25, or whatever you can to support the Iowa Democratic Party and help Democrats win in our state?

Together, we’ll score victories up and down the ballot.

— IDP
