John, we must confront those like Steve King

J.D. Scholten for Congress John -- We must confront those -- like Steve King -- who use xenophobia, racism, and misogyny to sow seeds of fear and hatred amongst neighbors and turn us against each other. If you’re sick and tired of career politicians like Steve King using politics to divid…

John, this “could be the end of the line”

J.D. Scholten for Congress John -- When we started this journey, D.C. didn’t think a former baseball player named J.D. Scholten could beat a career politician like Steve King -- no matter what horrible, racist or misogynistic things he says or does. Almost a year ago, we hoped to win -- a…

What Meals on Wheels means to me

   John, Meals on Wheels holds a special place in my heart. My great-grandma was a recipient and relied on their hot, nutritious meals just like many other elderly folks across the 4th district and around the country. But they don't only provide meals, they're also critical em…

Back on the Road

   John, J.D. is on the road right now — can you chip in to fill up the tank of Sioux City Sue? We’re starting our first 39 county tour by hitting towns in each county that have a population of less than 1,000 people — towns that have long been neglected and ignored by federal…

  Hey John, I wanted to take a second to tell you about how we are financing our campaign. Big money and special interests have no place in our elections. That’s why we are refusing corporate PAC money. Our campaign is powered by people just like you. Our district needs a le…

Steak Fry

  John, Yesterday, J.D. and Sioux City Sue stopped at the Polk County Steak Fry to meet with fired-up Democrats who are energized and ready to elect change. J.D. even debuted our new t-shirt! It reads: America needs farmers, and farmers need antitrust. Our campaign is a voice …

El Paso

  John, Over the weekend, I visited El Paso, Texas, where Steve King loves to visit. Instead of talking about low commodity prices, the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs, or wage stagnation, he’s drinking out of a toilet-fountain to prove that conditions at border facili…

Steve King Drinks Toilet Water?

  John, Steve King just released his latest publicity stunt: a video rationalizing the inhumane treatment of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers at the border.  We’ve seen children torn from the arms of their mothers, locked up in cages, and forced to sleep on concrete fl…

HEADLINE – Steve King is Broke and Has Been Abandoned by His Colleagues...

  John, I’m going to share something with you that a lot of Iowans already know: Steve King is on the ropes. Just this week, the Daily Beast reported: “As he gears up for a difficult re-election cycle, Rep. Steve King’s campaign is strapped for cash. Individual donations to th…

Our Response to King’s Hateful Comments

  Hey John, Yesterday, Steve King shared his horrific views excusing rape and incest. These views don’t reflect Iowan values. Iowans believe in creating a welcoming and safe community for all —and that’s what our campaign is all about. Watch J.D.'s response to Steve King's ha…

🚨🚨🚨 Steve King - we should excuse rape and incest 🚨🚨🚨

  Hey John, Steve King just said we should excuse rape and incest. Yet again, he puts his selfish, hateful ideology above the needs of the people of Iowa’s 4th district. Excusing violence — in any way — is entirely unacceptable. Here in Iowa, we stand strong together in the …
