CNN reports...

  It's simple math, team — If Republicans flip just one Senate seat this November, they will take back the majority. We wish it weren’t so simple, but it’s true. And CNN reports that three Senate seats currently held by Democrats are among the top 10 most likely seats to flip, in Geor…

Join me to demand the Senate act to prevent corruption

  Folks, I didn’t run for Senate to cozy up to special interests and big corporations — I ran because folks in rural communities like mine didn’t see anyone in Washington looking out for them. When elected leaders use their positions of power for their own personal gain, it’s not just…

Why your support is so important

  Hi folks, I ran for Senate because I got tired of feeling like folks in Washington were a world away from where I come from. Powerful corporate interests have elevated politicians and left rural communities and family farmers like me in the dust. I felt it was time for that to chang…
