Elijah & Elmo stopped by the office to boost morale as we hit the phones before our end of quarter fundraising deadline. We’ve got 2 days left to reach our big goal. Our campaign is powered by people, not corporate PACs. Pitch in and help us finish the year strong secure.actblue.com/donate/zw-so...

Ashley Hinson has sided with insurance companies and big pharma again and again while Iowans get screwed. If you want to know why, just look at who’s funding her campaign. It’s time to drain the swamp - for real - and elect new leaders who will put Iowans first. Every time.

Sending wishes of peace and love this Christmas🎄

I was proud to pitch in with Ironworkers Local 67 to prep 25,000 meals for DMARC food pantry in Des Moines helping families in need this holiday season.

Not every video goes to plan, but it’s snow big deal. I can handle it. Our end of year deadline is coming fast. Your contribution today will really snowball. Pitch in now: secure.actblue.com/donate/zw-so...

As we hit the 6th month mark of the campaign and close out 2025, Team Wahls is reflecting on the many milestones of the campaign.

Our team was proud to stand with @sbworkersunited.org in Des Moines and Iowa City who are on strike for more predictable schedules and better pay. Starbucks has the highest CEO-to-worker pay gap of any company on the S&P 500. It’s time for these giant corporations to pay workers their fair share.

The Senate failed to do the bare minimum yesterday on healthcare, but a two year extension of the ACA tax credits aren’t enough: we need a permanent extension.

Polls just closed in the HD7 special election. Rachel Burns has run a campaign focused on making Iowans lives better and made huge strides in a tough district in Northwest Iowa. We’re seeing big things in these specials. Keep your eyes on Iowa.

Thanks to everyone who braved the snow to join us in Waterloo this weekend. One story from a woman named Cheryl will stay with me. Cheryl and her husband are retired and are paying more of their income on groceries now than when they were raising two boys.

After months of delay, nurses at Unity Point are finally voting to unionize with @teamsters.bsky.social. These hard-working nurses have been organizing for fair pay and a safe working environment.

Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 33 represents nearly 2,000 hard working Iowans in Central and Western Iowa. The men and women of Local 33 are building Iowa infrastructure.

We’re extremely proud that the work our outstanding intern Estella did during our Giving Week of Action was featured by Grinnell College! Thank you Estella and McNally’s for stepping up to serve those in need in your community.

There’s another special election happening in Iowa next week! @burnsforiowa.bsky.social is a speech language pathologist, first responder, and educator.

"Our members are worried about rising costs and shrinking paychecks, and Zach is laser-focused on exactly that" -Sean Nagle, Business Manager of Insulators Local 81

Baby’s first snowball! I hope everyone had a safe and fun snow day☃️

Chloe, Elijah, Zelda, and I are all wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful, joyful, and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving.

Iowans need a Senator focused on bringing down costs for families rather than giving handouts to their billionaire and corporate donors. It's time to take on the corruption in DC and put money back in Iowans' pockets.

I launched my campaign for US Senate because Iowans need someone fighting to make their lives better. Team Wahls volunteers stepped up this week to put that mission into action. Together, we packaged and donated over 1,200 pounds of food for Iowa families. Thank you to everyone who joined us.

Our volunteers were out in Waukee, Ames, and Iowa City sorting and serving food for our Giving Day Week of Action. Thanks to everyone who’s made our events this week so successful!

Jill Shudak just won a historic race for Mayor of Council Bluffs against an entrenched establishment. She did it by showing up, listening, and focusing on how to make peoples’ lives better.

Another day of service! Team Wahls harvested over 2200 heads of lettuce from WesleyLife’s hydroponic farm in Des Moines, most of which are used in their meals on wheels program.

Another great group of volunteers out in Linn Co serving their community. Thanks to everyone who showed up to help pack food boxes for HACAP this morning.

My team drove out to Wright County to ask Gary why he was supporting our campaign - they got a little more than they were bargaining for :)

Thank you to our amazing volunteers who pitched in during our Giving Week of Action to help the Dubuque food pantry pack their biggest delivery of the week!

Mayor-elect Jill Shudak’s victory in Council Bluffs is proof that when Iowa Democrats fight for working people, we win. I’m proud to have her support for my campaign. Let's get to work.

A great weekend in Polk, Jefferson and Iowa counties. Thanks to everyone who joined us to talk about a new generation of leaders and how we can sort out the chaos in Washington.

Team Wahls will be out across Iowa during our Giving Week of Action helping feed our neighbors. Go to zachwahls.com/giving to join us.

Great evening with the Lee County Democrats at their annual Eppers-O'Malley dinner.

UFCW members are the backbone of our communities — from grocery stores and meatpacking plants to pharmacies and food processors. They show up every day to feed and serve Iowa families, even when corporate CEOs put profits ahead of people. I’m proud to have the support of UFCW Local 1846.

Iowans are feeling the squeeze of rising costs and wages that haven't kept up - all while billionaires and corporations are doing better than ever. It doesn't have to be this way.

I guess that explains why Ashley Hinson won’t sign the discharge petition to release them. We don’t need a senator who works for Donald Trump, we need a senator who works for US!

If you live in Iowa, go outside and look at the northern lights. Incredible!!

Team Wahls is stepping up to make a difference for Iowans in need during our statewide Giving Week of Action. Join us in supporting food pantries and food drives in communities around the state. Go to zachwahls.com/giving to find an event near you.

@jasonkander.bsky.social has demonstrated true courage in the face of some of the toughest fights. I'm honored to have his backing. Here's what he had to say about our race:

This morning, I joined volunteers at the Coralville Hy-Vee to serve breakfast to Iowa’s veterans and thank them for their service. Every veteran has a story of courage and sacrifice — and today, we honor all who have worn our nation’s uniform and defended our freedom.

Chuck Schumer has failed us.

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

Senate Democrats shouldn’t cave — when health care for hard working Iowa families on the line, you fight. This is a bad deal.

The message from @uaw.org workers in Burlington is clear: We fight. We fight for our families and our communities. We demand an end to corporate greed and a fair share for workers whose labor built this country.

Gary is Vietnam vet from Wright County who’s fed up with seeing his friends suffer while politicians like Ashley Hinson play politics with their healthcare.

200 workers at the Case New Holland plant are facing layoffs as execs from the multi-billion dollar corporation cut costs at the expense of the Burlington community. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Thanks @nymag.com for the shout out. Proud to be a part of this new generation of leadership.

Great to be in DSM talking with the Westside and Eastside Dems about our campaign to lower costs and grow paychecks for Iowans.

Here in Iowa, we’ve seen a string of special elections with 20 point over performances for Democrats. And tonight’s results show, we’re just getting started.

It's Election Day, Iowa. Polls are open until 8pm - make sure to go vote on important local races and issues in your community.

Zach Wahls, US Senate candidate, was in Cedar Rapids today to convene and lead a rally to “protect our health care” under attack by Ashley Hinson and Republicans. Affordable Care Act tax credits for working people are expiring, and Republicans already voted to take away funding for Medicaid.

Iowans gathered outside of Ashley Hinson’s office today to demand she protect our healthcare and reopen the government. If she doesn’t act, 24,000 Iowans will lose health insurance, and over 115,000 Iowans will see costs skyrocket.

Happy Halloween from Elijahsaurus!

22 stops. 15 counties. Countless conversations in Western Iowa with good people doing their best for their families and communities.
