Re. Theresa's Super PAC money

I know you understand the threat of dark money. It is a corrupting influence in our democracy that is left unchecked and unmonitored, and it gives a huge leg up to those who are willing to take it. It        Look, friends, I was appalled to see how much corporate PAC money Theresa …

Where's Ernst?

We need a senator who will protect healthcare from special interests. That's why we stand with Admiral Franken. He won't support restrictions on access. He won't cut funding. And he'll stand up to any        Iowans cannot trust Joni Ernst and Donald Trump to protect their health in…

We're tired of the games

Joni Ernst used her office of public trust to subvert the impeachment proceedings to further an agenda that puts her party over Iowa. Before our eyes -- and witnessed by every Iowan -- she bowed to th        Joni Ernst used her office of public trust to subvert the impeachment proc…
