We need to have an honest discussion about the state of voting rights in this country.
In June, Senate Republicans voted to block debate on the For the People Act, effectively sinking crucial legislation that would have expanded voter protections and strengthened our democracy.
For years, Republicans like Chuck Grassley have stood silent while our Governor and state legislature have made it more and more difficult for Iowans to vote. It's cowardice and unpatriotic.
The truth is, issues like voting rights, family farming, health care, immigration, education, and infrastructure aren't even on the radar of our elected officials.
While Chuck Grassley and Senate Republicans choose deceptive talking points and vain attempts at misdirection, states across the country, including Iowa, continue to chip away at our access to the ballot box.
Countless men and women have fought and died for our democracy, John, and it's on us to defend it.
That's why I'm running for Senate, John, because it's time for a new generation of Iowans to step up and lead.
