John — I’m excited. Today, the Democracy Defense Fund is endorsing Admiral Mike Franken for U.S. Senate in Iowa.

Will you join us in supporting Mike’s effort to flip Iowa blue?

Mike grew up in rural Iowa, worked in a meat packing plant, and spent more than 30 years in the Navy. He was the only voice on a team of military advisers to oppose George W. Bush’s war in Iraq. He went on to serve under President Obama.

Now, he’s challenging eight-term incumbent Chuck Grassley — a far-right Senator who opposes gun control, a woman’s right to choose, and who voted against making Martin Luther King Day a federal holiday. It’s no wonder my uncle gave Grassley an enthusiastic endorsement.

Iowans deserve a public servant — but defeating an entrenched incumbent like Grassley won’t be easy and Mike Franken needs our help.

Will you split a donation of $25 (or more) between Mike Franken and the Democracy Defense Fund to help defeat Chuck Grassley, expand the Democratic majority, and bring principled leadership to the Senate?

Thanks for your support,

Dr. Mary L Trump
