Hello,

When a candidate for office asks you to lend them your support — you should be confident about what they stand for.

After over 36 years serving in the United States Navy, I'm home to unseat Chuck Grassley and become the next Senator from Iowa — and I'm writing today to ask you to become a founding donor to this campaign. [[link removed]]

So, here's some substance about where I stand on the issues:

*
Every
American
should
enjoy
comprehensive
healthcare.
That
includes
dental,
mental,
and
preventive
care,
and
ultimately,
Medicare
available
to
all
who
need
it.
*
*
The
threat
posed
by
the
climate
crisis
is
enormous,
but
so
are
the
benefits
we
can
enjoy
by
addressing
it.
That’s
especially
true
in
Iowa
thanks
to
renewed
leadership
in
agriculture
and
bioenergy.
*
*
It's
appalling
that
large
corporations
and
the
very
wealthy
pay
a
lower
tax
rate
than
ordinary
Iowans.
It's
time
to
stop
giving
working
families
a
raw
deal
and
start
eliminating
loopholes
for
the
ultra-rich.
*
*
Too
many
of
our
students
right
here
in
Iowa
don't
get
the
quality
of
education
they
deserve.
We
need
to
pay
our
teachers
what
they're
worth,
and
we
can
take
steps
to
improve
education
in
rural
areas
by
making
sure
they
get
their
fair
share
of
per-student
spending.
*
*
And
finally,
I
believe
that
Americans
deserve
a
movement
of
steel-jawed
Democrats
who
win
with
the
first
punch
and
don't
back
down.
We
don't
need
to
coddle
Chuck
Grassley
and
others
who
were
aware
of
attempts
to
overthrow
our
democracy;
we
need
to
show
them
the
barn
door.

If all of this sounds right to you, friend, then there is something you can do about it: Chip into our campaign today. We're going to run this race the right way, focusing on our vision for the future of every Iowan and every American — and your gift today will help make sure voters hear our message.

I've said this before, but I'll repeat it here. I think you deserve a Senator who is pragmatic enough to achieve what’s achievable, but bold enough to aim for what we haven't yet been able to achieve. It's my sincere hope I can be that Senator for you.

Thanks for your support, and thanks for doing what it takes to win this election.
