John,

From a young age, my parents taught me about seeing work that needed to be done and just doing it. They taught me to always treat people with respect and to never think you're better than anyone else – no matter what you do or where you go.

These are the lessons I brought with me when I served in Congress – where I had the privilege of working alongside Adam – and they will continue to guide me as the next United States Senator from Iowa.

I'm running for Senate to be a voice for working families. It’s critical we defend our democracy and Democratic majorities in Congress – and today, I’m asking for your support to defeat Sen. Chuck Grassley, hold the Senate, and flip Iowa blue.

Will you split a contribution of $10 or more between our campaigns? We must ensure we have the resources to defend our majorities and deliver bold progress for the American people.

The fight for working families isn't some abstract concept for me. It's personal. Working families are my family: Mom is a retired Dubuque Community Schools employee, and Dad is a retired union pipefitter-welder. In fact, it was Dad's old sweatshirt – peppered with burn holes from sparks from his welding torch – that I carried with me when I first went to Congress, so I'd never forget why I ran and who I represent.

What we know now is that the vast majority of Iowans don't want Sen. Grassley representing them in Washington anymore – and neither do I. He’s become an ultimate Washington insider – and forgot about the community that sent him to Washington. He used to be a voice that we could disagree with but still respect, knowing he at least had Iowans’ interests in mind. But he’s changed.

In his seven terms, he has actively voted against and obstructed progress that would benefit working Iowans: He’s tried to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, and he’s voted against most everything that would move communities in Iowa forward. He’s sided with Mitch McConnell time and again – even when it comes to undermining our democracy.

Holding the House and the Senate – by defeating a seven-term incumbent like Sen. Grassley – will be tough. But nobody will work harder than I will to win this race, and I’m honored to have Congressman Schiff fighting hard alongside me. What we need now is grassroots resources from people like you, which is why we’ve set a goal to raise $15,000 before midnight tonight!

For the country we love and the democracy we cherish, will you split a contribution of $10 or more between our campaigns? We urgently need your support to defeat Sen. Grassley and protect Democratic majorities in both chambers of Congress.
