John, we can win this race. Just take a look at what Iowans across the district are saying about J.D. and our campaign: “In my 60-plus years of living in Iowa, I have not encountered a candidate for any office who matches Scholten’s effort. Our country has big challenges like health care affordability/accessibility, a livable rural wage, the increasing power of multinational agriculture corporations that allows them to bully farmers, and battling a dangerous virus. Scholten has the energy and infectious can-do attitude to get things done that will help Iowans overcome these challenges and move forward.” - David Linder, Manson “J.D. Scholten knows what makes rural Iowa great, but also recognizes where we must improve. He’s willing to reject his own party if it means doing what’s best for his district, and his selfless leadership and integrity is what we need during these times of uncertainty.” - Keegan Jones, 2013 graduate of Fort Dodge Senior High “While his opponent repeatedly declines debate invitations, Scholten never turns down an opportunity to speak to the people of this district, and having visited nearly every town in it, he knows what matters to us and what we need to make it through these difficult times. It shows he’s here for us, not big-dollar donors and Washington elites. These days, it’s easy to allow ourselves to remain isolated and divided, but I urge you to look to Scholten for inspiration on how to show up for one another and as an indication of how he’ll show up for us when we get him to Washington.” - Abigail Boyd, a third-year graduate student in food science and human nutrition. “Say what you will, but Scholten isn't lazy, and he takes nothing for granted. He genuinely cares for the district, its citizens, and its small towns. You may not always like his positions, but you’ll know they’re what he believes is best for his constituents, not just blind adherence to party diktat. Stop the cycle of neglect. Elect someone truly beholden to the Fourth District. Vote for J.D. Scholten.” - Thomas R. O’Donnell, Ames “J.D. has listened intently to people in the fourth district and has become their champion. He is motivated by his commitment to his dying grandmother, Fern, to save their family farm, and wants to help all the farm families like theirs. A devout person, he is motivated by compassion and a sense of responsibility for others. He wants to end the cruel distribution of access to health care through GoFundMe, or donation boxes on gas station counters, to people who are left out of the current system. He wants to end monopolies, especially in agriculture and health care, and end the disparities in this country between the powerful few and the rest of us struggling to get by in a pandemic and a recession. He has a vision of farmers in IA-04 leading the fight against climate change and being rewarded for their efforts, instead of being driven out of business by monopolists. You can’t fake showing up. If we send J.D. Scholten to Congress, he will keep showing up for us.” - Susan Nelson “When J.D. Scholten says, “It’s getting harder and harder to live in rural America,” he knows exactly what he’s talking about. The Fourth District is the biggest district and most rural, meaning how good or bad our farm economy is doing has a huge impact. J.D., unlike his opponent, does not ignore this issue and talks about farm bankruptcies on the rise and income on a decline.” - Jackie Stellish, Sioux City As you can see, J.D. has shown up everywhere and earned votes. He doesn’t make empty promises. When he says he’ll show up, he means it. That’s because when we win on November 3rd, J.D. wants to get to work right away to serve all the people in Iowa’s 4th district. But we need your help to make sure that J.D. can meet even more Iowans so he can win on Election Day and get to work for all of us in Congress -- not corporations and the 1%. If you can, chip in $5 to help send J.D. to Congress so he can Stand Tall for All. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
