Wow, friend.

My team ran the numbers, and since we first launched our campaign for a better Iowa just over two weeks ago, we’ve raised more than $20,000 in grassroots donations, surpassing our goal by the end-of-quarter deadline!

I am so honored and humbled by the outpouring of support from folks like you in communities across Iowa. This is a great start to our movement, and for that I say: thank YOU.

I’m already traveling to visit with folks across the state, from Davenport to Ottumwa to Walnut, to listen to Iowans’ needs and concerns directly.

With your support, I’m working with my team to schedule all kinds of visits and events, as we build out this campaign for a Governor who will represent all Iowans and give power back to the people.

Thank you for showing up for me, so that I can show up for Iowa.

Let’s keep it up!

PS: I hope you all have a safe and happy Fourth of July with friends and family!
