John,

If we haven’t met, I’m Izaah Knox, Democratic candidate for Iowa Senate in District 17. Today is a very special day: not only is it Father’s Day, it is also Juneteenth. As a father of three running to be the first Black Iowa State Senator in over 30 years, these days of observance and celebration are both sacred to me.

Juneteenth is a commemoration of the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans, and while it is a celebration of how far we’ve come it is also an opportunity to reflect on the work that remains. Because of my experiences and love for Iowa, I am running to make life better for Iowa families and workers and to show future generations that change is possible.

From my family to yours, Happy Father’s Day and Happy Juneteenth!

Best,
Izaah Knox
