I know my team and I were in touch a lot over the past week. We had an important deadline that hit Thursday -- I'm thrilled to let you know we exceeded the mark thanks to supporters like you friend.

I'm thrilled.

That said, fundraising is only one part of this campaign. I'm traveling the state to meet with Iowans to talk (and listen!) about issues that matter to them.

The video is from a stop we made in Clinton, where I toured the Gateway Area Community Center. I learned about how their boxing club engages young people to invest in their future. Not much different from what we're doing with this campaign, by the way.

We're building a movement for all Iowans to feel welcome in this campaign, with the shared goal of defeating Kim Reynolds and moving Iowa forward. Fundraising helps provide the fuel, but it's only part of the bigger picture.

I appreciate everything you've done to help me meet my goal this month, and I'm excited for the month ahead. We'll have some exciting updates for you soon, stay tuned.
