I am so thankful for every candidate who put themselves out there, every volunteer who knocked doors and made phone calls, and for all the voters who believed in a better future for Iowa.

I want to be clear that no matter what, Iowa Democrats will always put people before politics and no election will ever change that. 

If we want to make Iowa a place where folks want to live, work and raise a family, we have a lot of work to do and I’m in this for the long haul.

Take care of yourself – we need you in this fight with us.

– Ross Wilburn, IDP Chair

• Rob Sand: 1 afternoon, 2 trophies! 🥇🦌 Thank you Iowans for your trust for another 4 years as State Auditor. We will keep finding your bucks! 

• Sami Scheetz: I ran to make our community/state a better place, and you all were a big part of the reason that I was successful. Here is my pledge to you: I will always be a voice for my community.

• Sarah Trone Garriott: We did it!!!
• Josh Turek: I’m humbled & honored to be elected as the next State Representative for House District 20! This was not won alone, & I was blessed to have the support and help of so many people.
