Before I dive into the highlights of this article from The Atlantic …Iowa’s U.S. Senate election could decide who takes the Senate majority in November. Will you split a donation of $10 or $15 between my campaign and Moderate Democrats PAC to help us fight back against MAGA and take back control of our country? [[link removed]]

Below is an excerpt from The Atlantic:

There are a few ways to think about Iowa. You might imagine America’s 29th state as the land of corn and pigs (20 million hogs can’t be wrong, reads my favorite T-shirt for sale at the Eastern Iowa Airport). Maybe you associate it with Field of Dreams, Caitlin Clark, or the future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk.

You might also picture Iowa as flat, like a pancake. But you would be wrong. Iowa is not even in the top five flattest U.S. states, which is a fact I was considering last month as I watched Josh Turek size up a daunting set of stairs in a hilly Cedar Rapids neighborhood. After a moment’s consideration, the 47-year-old Democrat, who uses a wheelchair, shook his head, deciding against it. It would be the only house that Turek would skip that afternoon as he knocked on doors in the warm spring sunlight. At all the other homes, he followed the same elaborate routine without appearing to break a sweat: lowering his body out of his chair and onto the ground; hoisting himself backwards up a step using just his arms; yanking the wheelchair up after him; and repeating that until he reached the doorbell, which is when he would announce, “Hi! I’m Josh Turek, and I’m running for the U.S. Senate!”

In his bid to replace Republican Senator Joni Ernst, Turek is hoping to correct what he believes is another popular misconception about Iowa: that it is a red state.

All across Iowa’s 99 counties, people keep telling me that they feel more hopeful than they have in a decade or more.

I feel the same way, John.

And it isn’t just happening in Iowa. This sentiment is shared by millions of working people all across this country.

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. The stars are aligning in our favor. Trump won Iowa by 13 points in 2024, now it’s TIED in multiple polls.

Experts, pundits, and even our opponents know this is unlike any election in recent history.

My Trump-endorsed opponent is backed up by $50 million in dark money. Moderate Democrats PAC and I need your urgent support to keep our TV ads, digital ads, get-out-the-vote tour, door-knocking, phone banking, voter registration, and so much more, going through the fall .

Will you split a donation of $10, $15, or more to help Moderate Democrats PAC and me seize this opportunity to flip Iowa, take back the Senate, and change this country? [[link removed]]
