If we’re going to take back the House and Senate next year, we have to start showing up where it matters.

That’s why I’ve been doing town halls in Republican states and districts all year. It’s why I called into an Alaska Democrats town hall after Trump’s budget passed. And it’s why I’m going to Iowa next month.

Republicans just pushed through a cruel budget that rips health care from millions, hikes energy prices, and slashes food assistance to fund billionaire tax breaks. And Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst and Rep. Mariannetter Miller-Meeks voted for it.

Either one of them could have defended the people of their state with one small moment of courage. They could have killed that budget. Instead, they turned their back on Iowans. Just like Murkowski betrayed Alaskans.

They both had the power to save millions of people from losing access to health care. They could’ve forced Republicans back to the drawing board. Instead, they willingly gave that power up.

We know where Ernst is at on this. “We are all going to die.” It’s all fun to her, a real laugh — but thousands of people in her state are going to lose their health care, their food assistance, the little help they get. And they’re losing it because Joni Ernst wanted them to.

So, I’m going to Iowa. People are pissed off because they sent Joni Ernst and Marianette Miller-Meeks there to fight on them. Instead, they supported drastic cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to fund tax cuts for corporations and billionaires that are doing just fine summering on their yachts.

We’re going to hold them both accountable. We’re going to defeat them. That requires a sustained grassroots mobilization — like going out to Iowa and making sure the people of that state hear us. Fighting back against the scale of corruption happening before us requires significant resources.

So please, if you’re with me in this fight, I hope you will consider making a contribution to support my work. Anything you can spare will make a difference.
