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 2022 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, then there is something you can do about it: Chip into our campaign today. We're running 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. [[link removed]]

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.
