Abby is her own kind of Democrat -- check out this article from USA Today

Finkenauer for Iowa         Hi there -- We wanted to share some clips from USA Today’s feature, “She made history with AOC but Congress’ second-youngest woman, Abby Finkenauer, is her own Democrat.”   As USA Today noted, Abby’s fight has always been for the district…

Action needed: sign now to keep pre-existing conditions covered

Finkenauer for Iowa         Hi there,   In Congress, Abby signed H.R. 986, the Protecting Americans with Preexisting Conditions Act of 2019, because NO ONE should be forced to choose between taking care of their family members and going bankrupt affording medical ca…

An update from Iowa

Finkenauer for Iowa         Hi there,   Over the past couple weeks, Abby has been meeting with hardworking people in IA-01 who feel the impacts of dysfunctional leadership in D.C.   Abby has visited the Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids to call for better Medicar…

What Rep. Steve King said last week

Finkenauer for Iowa         Hey -- Last week, a member of Iowa’s congressional delegation was incredibly cruel and disrespectful to survivors of sexual assault. Rep. Steve King asked if there would be “any population left” without rape and incest. His rhetoric and h…

can't do this without you!!

Hi there,   There's no doubt that national Republicans want to kick me out of Congress, but look, I'm not done fighting for my neighbors across our district. Their plan is to pit me against partisan extremists who will repeat their lies about who I am and what I'm fighting for in Washington -- b…

It's all part of their plan

Finkenauer for Iowa         Hey -- National Republicans have refocused their strategy. They think that if they can recruit hyper-partisan conservatives to run for swing seats like IA-01, they’ll win back control of the House in 2020.   This is all part of their late…

Work period?

Finkenauer for Iowa         Hi there,   Already this August, Abby has been hard at work traveling the district to meet with local business owners, farmers, union members, and students.   In the last week, she's spent time at the Midwest School for Women Workers at t…

$1,210 more to raise before midnight, and I’m really hoping I can count on your support to defend this toss-up seat and keep IA-01 blue in 2020.

Reaching out quickly. Look, this seat isn’t safe, and the GOP is watching our race like a hawk. There’s so much on the line -- affordable healthcare, the cost of prescription drugs, infrastructure throughout the heartland -- and if we lose this seat, I can’t fight for hardworking Iowan families …

Help me fight back against divisive GOP tactics

Finkenauer for Iowa         Hi there,   The Des Moines Register reported that there could be more than 2,500 presidential events and visits all before the caucus.   There’s no question that there’s going to be a lot of noise to cut through between now and next Novem…

Sharing some photos from the trail!

Finkenauer for Iowa         Hi there,   Over the past few weeks, Abby has been meeting with Iowans, local business leaders, and other community stakeholders from all across the district to figure out how she can best serve IA-01 while nearly every bill passed in t…

checking back here

Hi there -- I’m ready to work harder than ever to keep this seat blue so I can fight for my neighbors across IA-01. We’re not taking ANYTHING for granted, and we cannot risk letting the heartland flip red again in 2020. YOU made it possible for me to be doing this work, but it’s time to get back…

Think I can count on you?

Finkenauer for Iowa         Hey, we’re in this together.   Everyday I’m in Washington, it’s my honor to take Iowans’ voices to the halls of Congress. I’ll never take for granted the incredible team effort it took -- and will continue to take -- to do right by our …

We don’t have time for a summer dip

Hey -- Over the past couple weeks, presidential hopefuls have campaigned throughout Iowa -- as has the president -- because winning over voters here is the key to winning the White House. I’m telling you now, what we do in IA-01 to keep eastern Iowa blue matters a whole heck of a lot. …

An important week for healthcare

Finkenauer for Iowa         Hey -- On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit heard arguments on whether or not the whole of the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional.   The president, according to his Twitter account, agrees and, along with Repub…

Hit our EOQ goal -- thank you!!

Finkenauer for Iowa         Hi team,   Representing and serving my home and a state I am so proud to have grown up in is the greatest honor of my life. Growing up in Sherrill taught me to stand up for what’s right, work with whoever you need to -- regardless of par…

Last one -- I need your help NOW

Right now, we’re $972 short of our FEC filing goal, and I need you with me before midnight.   Hey -- I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done for me in the past. YOU are the reason I have the opportunity and honor to serve my home and my neighbors in Congress, but the truth is, pro…

All hands on deck

Hey -- Inside Elections say IA-01 is EXACTLY the type of district we need to protect if we’re going to keep the majority. The GOP only needs to flip 18 seats to take back the House -- and they’re already fast at work launching attack ads.   The Congressional Leadership Fund said targeti…

Hey -- Reaching out with an update on our FEC filing goal!

Look, if our second quarter finance report wasn’t SO important I would not ask you again. However, what we raise before tomorrow’s deadline will set the tone for the rest of the year -- we MUST show the GOP that if they think they’re going to stop me from delivering results for the peopl…

Can’t look like an easy target

Hi there -- When I read the Inside Elections article that said my seat was key to protecting the House majority, I worried about Iowa families.   Losing IA-01 puts Social Security, Medicaid, and lowering the costs of prescription drugs directly on the line. We have to fight back harder t…

If Abby loses re-election, we lose the House

Listen -- I need you to contribute to Abby Finkenauer’s campaign right now. The NRCC has launched a direct attack against Abby, and it is critical we fight back now. Their attack couldn’t come at a worse time -- she is facing the most critical moment of her re-election, and she has righ…

We can't afford to lose IA-01 in 2020

Hi there,   Inside Elections reported that if Abby LOSES her re-election campaign, it will be part of a GOP comeback.   Look, we cannot fall behind on ANY of our goals, but things aren’t looking good, and if we don’t report strong numbers in our second quarter FEC filing, the GOP will aggr…
