Hi John,

We haven’t met yet and I wanted to introduce myself: I’m Claire, and I’m J.D.’s campaign manager.

We knew from the moment we launched this campaign that it would be a fight — and we’ve seen nothing but energy and excitement from folks across the state. But now comes the real test: our first public fundraising report closes at midnight on Monday.

This isn’t just a line on the calendar. It’s the moment that donors, press, and national Republicans use to gauge how serious a campaign is. If we fall short, they’ll say we’re not ready. But if we show strength? We change the narrative — and the momentum shifts our way.

Joni Ernst is a well-funded incumbent backed by deep-pocketed special interests and corporate PAC money. But J.D. has something she doesn’t: an army of grassroots supporters ready to show up, speak out, and chip in.

This campaign runs on real people, not PACs and megadonors. So I’m asking you: will you make a donation right now and help us finish this quarter strong?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

We’re building something powerful — and we’re just getting started.

Thanks for being in this with us,

Claire Feinberg
Campaign Manager
