John,

My name is Taylor Wettach, and I’m running to represent Iowa’s 1st District in Congress. I could use your help to get there, so if you’re able, I hope you’ll chip in whatever you can today.

My roots in this state run seven generations deep. I come from a long line of Iowans shaped by faith, hard work, and commitment to serving others, values that have guided my family for generations. During the Great Depression, my great-grandfather worked with the Farm Security Administration to help keep rural Iowan families afloat – and captured their lives in his photography.

I grew up in a family of doctors and educators, learning early on that serving your community isn’t just a profession – it’s a calling.

I’ve carried those values with me every step of the way – whether working odd jobs as a teenager, volunteering overseas, or fighting for economic security, human rights, and the rule of law as an attorney.

But lately, Iowans are telling me they feel ignored – by politicians who don’t show up, who don’t listen, and who don’t fight for the things that matter most: quality education, accessible healthcare, and an economy that works for people, not just corporations.

I’m running because I believe public service means showing up. It means holding town halls, listening to rural communities, and fighting like hell to make sure Iowa families aren’t left behind.

This campaign is about putting people back at the center of politics. But to do that, I need your help. If we’re going to take on entrenched power and win, we need to build grassroots power. And that starts with you, John.

Can I count on you to become a Founding Donor by chipping in whatever you can today?

Thanks for being a part of this.

With gratitude,

Taylor
