John --

We must confront those -- like Steve King -- who use xenophobia, racism, and misogyny to sow seeds of fear and hatred amongst neighbors and turn us against each other.

If you’re sick and tired of career politicians like Steve King using politics to divide us, please chip in $5 or more to our campaign before tomorrow’s end-of-month fundraising deadline.

I believe that all who call America home should be treated with dignity and respect. I believe all who work hard should share in our prosperity and have access to affordable health care, good-paying jobs, and strong public schools.

I believe people should have elected officials who are accessible and accountable to them.

I believe in you, John.

Throughout my life, both as a ballplayer and as a professional, I’ve worked to put others first. I believe in hard work, civility, and love of community.

I can promise you this: As your congressman, I will always show up. I will always listen to you and respect your opinion -- even if we disagree -- because we are all Iowans and Americans first. But to get there, I’ll need your help.

Chip in $5 or more before tomorrow’s end-of-month deadline and let's win this election.

Thank you,

J.D. Scholten
