John,

There have been a lot of “firsts” for me this month.

First, I decided to throw my hat in the ring for Iowa’s State House, to represent my home town of Sioux City.

After I jumped in the race, CNalysis (a nonpartisan state legislative election analysis group) moved this seat from “Tilt D” to “Lean D.” This is my first race where someone said I had the advantage! 

I picked the perfect South Region of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, which is definitely a first.

I received my first suggestion for a campaign motto: “Bald and Involved!” This came from a bartender, while I was collecting signatures to get on the ballot, that “wasn’t into politics” but voted for me twice previously.

And today, we are facing our first ever end-of-month fundraising deadline. Chip in $10 to help build the movement we need to win in Iowa State House District 1!

If we win, this will be my first time holding public office! With strong grassroots support, I know we can get out the vote and win in Iowa House District 1.

Standing Tall for All
