Hey John,

There's something you should know.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the organization responsible for working to elect Democrats to the House of Representatives, has cold feet. They want us to run our campaign THEIR way in order to get some support.

After we moved the needle by 24 points in 2018.

After we out-fundraised the entire Republican field combined this year.

Even after we retired Steve King and just set the second quarter record for Democratic fundraising in this district, they continue to make our campaign jump through hoops despite promising they were “all in” when begging me to run again.

The truth is that we don't need the DCCC.

We're making history in the most rural, Republican district in Iowa and we're doing it without a dime from corporate PACs or the DCCC's help.

Because we've got something so much better than Washington insiders: We've got you and thousands of other working families determined to flip this seat blue.

Take a minute to watch my full statement here, and when you're done, help us continue making history by chipping in ahead of our end-of-month deadline.
 
Watch J.D.'s Full Statement
This campaign is owned and operated by the people, for the people. It's never been about me. And it's certainly never been about D.C. political operatives. It's always been about Iowans getting their voice back in Congress.

It's always been the plan to run this campaign through Sioux City -- not Washington. As long as I've got you, John, I know we can win and replace Steve King with the kind of leadership Iowans deserve.

Chip in now and let's show the political establishment on both sides of the aisle what everyday people can do when we come together.
