I lived on the block where Renee Good was shot. Her death is horrific. We need a full investigation, accountability, and an overhaul of ICE - not a threat to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I recently visited my friend Dan, who has about 200 cattle on his farm in Hardin County. We talked about the economic challenges facing farmers and the outlook for the American beef market - and took a few moments to take in the beauty of Iowa's winter landscape!

I'm proud to be the first candidate in either party to announce that I've made stops to visit with people in all 22 counties in Iowa's 2nd District since launching my campaign! Winning this district will take connecting in every community no matter how big or small.

The division in our politics, and the acts of violence we saw this weekend across the world, are heart-wrenching and overwhelming. I lit a candle as an act of hope and optimism that it doesn't have to be this way.

It was great to be in Decorah to do a little holiday shopping and talk to voters about my plans to build a better future for Iowa. Decorah is one of those special jewels, and Water Street is full of creativity! decorahnews.com/news/16206/d...

We need to stop the corrupting influence of money in our elections and the shameless self-enrichment by career politicians. That's why I refuse to take corporate PAC funding, and why I've joined End Citizens United's campaign to ban Congressional stock trading & crack down on dark money in politics.

If you're like me and had your Small Business Saturday plans thwarted by the snowstorm, be sure to still get out and shop local this holiday season. Yesterday I stopped at Simply Iowa Market & Candle Company in Grundy Center. Thanks to Carrie for setting me up with one of her amazing candles!

I took a shift yesterday distributing Thanksgiving meals at the Northeast Iowa Area Food Bank in Waterloo. They had given out over 2,600 dinners and counting as of 2:00 pm - truly a monumental effort! Thanks to all of the donors and volunteers who made this happen.

I took some time away from campaigning to deliver food to folks in their homes for Meals on Wheels in Cedar Rapids. Thanks to Horizons Family Services for all the incredible work they do in our community!

Like @jamestalarico.bsky.social, my faith has driven the work I’ve done to build houses, grow food, and build community. We need more leaders in Congress who live out the commandment to “Love thy neighbor.”

I stopped in Traer to check out their one-of-a-kind winding staircase. Traer is also home to one of the largest collections of salt and pepper shakers in the country. Definitely worth a visit. I love the gifted people and unique places that make northeast Iowa special!

Incredible energy in Osage last weekend! Mitchell County is ready to go.

Grace is battling brain cancer and is at risk of losing health coverage because Congress refuses to extend health care tax credits. Iowa’s current representatives won’t even speak to her about it. Grace – and all of us – deserve better. www.kcrg.com/2025/10/17/b...

Thanks to the Howard County Democrats for putting together a fantastic event.

What a busy Saturday! Stopped at the Cedar Rapids HOPEwalk to support awareness and education on suicide prevention, took part in the world's largest cereal breakfast in Greene Square Park, and enjoyed some delicious ube hopia at the Cedar Rapids Asian Festival.

Great fun at National Cattle Congress in Waterloo last night! I spent some time visiting with voters at the Black Hawk County Democrats table, then enjoyed talking to folks who brought their animals to show.

Senator Grassley is right about this. Across-the-board tariffs are pushing our ag economy closer to the brink. I lived in rural Iowa through the 1980s farm crisis and saw banks close and families lose their farms. We can’t afford to go through that again. cbs2iowa.com/news/local/s...

Current economic policies, including across-the-board tariffs, are having a serious impact here in Iowa. I've said it before and I'll say it again: John Deere workers and their families should not have to bear the cost of this chaos in our economy.

I had fun earlier this week visiting with the Dubuque County Democrats! It was great to hear about the important work they’re doing to reach voters and support local candidates. An incredible group with lots of energy and commitment to making a difference in Dubuque County!

The pundits are beginning to see what we’ve known all along: northeast Iowa is in play and ready for change.

I led a worship service at my church in the hours after the 9/11 attacks and I’ll never forget how we prayed together through our shock and grief.

Our hearts should break whenever we lose someone to a senseless act of violence. I am praying for Charlie Kirk’s family and friends. Violence has absolutely no place in our democracy.

We may not be in the same party, but I agree with Senator Barrasso on this. Iowa is home to some of the best doctors in the world. The federal government should help them deliver quality care instead of taking a wrecking ball to our public health system. We can do better.

This is our moment to make Iowa the great place that it can be. Join our movement today! www.clintforiowa.com

My statement on the news that Ashley Hinson has decided to run for Senate:

You know it, I know it and Joni Ernst knows it: Iowans are ready for change. No more politics as usual. We need to win this seat in 2026. Let’s get to work. www.cbsnews.com/news/joni-er...

These across-the-board tariffs are not working here in Iowa. John Deere workers in Waterloo should not be the ones who have to bear the cost of this chaos in our economy. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/...

By electing Catelin Drey, Iowans have ended the supermajority in the state Senate and made it clear they want change. Congrats to Senator-elect Drey on her victory!

Great to be at the Wing Ding Dinner to share why I'm running for Congress in #IA-02!

I’m a pastor and nonprofit leader. I’ve spent my life solving problems – block by block, family by family. I’m running for Congress to lower costs, protect Social Security and Medicare and invest in Iowa’s small towns. Donate today: secure.actblue.com/donate/clint...
