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.

We’re building a new coalition of Iowans sick of the political games and corruption. I sat down with the Decorah News for a candid conversation about fairness, Iowa agriculture, immigration, and political accountability.

Thanks to Melissa and Joe for opening their home for a huge meet and greet in Decorah. We’re feeling the energy!

Deeply grateful for the support of Dr. Frantz Whitfield who organized a thoughtful discussion with Waterloo faith leaders and community advocates. I appreciated the opportunity to listen - something we need more from leaders in Washington.

Thank you to the Warren County Democrats for welcoming me to your Fall Dinner. Last night, I heard about private equity buying nursing homes in the area and quality of care plummeting.

The way to get costs under control and Iowa back on track is to vote out corrupt politicians who are too deep in the pocket of special interests to care that our hospitals are closing and our schools are falling behind.

I've met with leaders from rural hospitals across the state. They've all said the same thing: Republican cuts to Medicaid in the "Big Beautiful Bill" will make it harder to keep their doors open and will put Iowans' health at risk.

Ashley Hinson knows the Trump tariffs are raising prices on Iowans. So why is she still supporting them?

I'm hearing the same thing all over Iowa: while billionaires and corporations make record profits, costs are skyrocketing for the rest of us. It's time to fix it.

I heard from voters in Union County who are looking for a leader ready to fight back against the chaos coming out of Washington. They want a Senator who will fight for their families struggling to find care for loved ones as rural hospitals cut staff.

Over half of Iowa's energy comes from wind power. Because of Ashley Hinson's vote to gut clean energy tax credits via the "Big Beautiful Bill," Iowans will see their utilities go up by hundreds of dollars a year and thousands of Iowa workers are at risk of losing their jobs.

Great conversations in Greenfield and Mount Ayr. Small towns like these are one of the special parts of our state and deserve attention and support from leaders in Washington, not empty promises. I’ll always put Iowans first.

The chaos of the Republican shutdown is already having ripple effects here in Iowa. The nurses at UnityPoint have been fighting to unionize for better conditions and to improve patient care. Now the shutdown has put another obstacle in their way.

Thank you, Harlan. A great discussion on how we can do better for our small towns and rural communities. Step one: show up. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

Ashley Hinson has rubber stamped tariffs that are destroying markets for famers and raising costs for Iowans. Whether I'm in Sioux City, Storm Lake, Denison or Des Moines, the number one thing Iowans are telling me is they want someone who will fight back and tackle Washington corruption head on.

Huge crowd tonight in Council Bluffs. We’re fired up to bring change to Washington.

Iowa farmers feed and fuel the world. Our state deserves better than out-of-control costs, chaos, and corruption from Washington. My OpEd in the Des Moines Register:

Liz Garst comes from a long line of soil conservationists. I joined her for a farm tour in Guthrie County to discuss the steps we can take to improve our water quality and preserve Iowa’s farmland for future generations.

Can’t express enough gratitude to Marshalltown Mayor Joel Greer for his endorsement and his hospitality. It was great to be back in Marshalltown - the first time I’ve been back since my high school swimming days.

We’re heading towards a totally preventable farm crisis. And now Republicans are bragging about a "fix" to solve a problem they created. It’s like an arsonist handing you a hose after they set your house on fire.

Day 5 of the shutdown. It’s time for Republicans to come back to the table instead of going on island retreats.

Unity Point hospital has spent millions on union busting consultants rather than providing nurses with fair wages and safe working conditions. It's wrong and it's bad for patients. I'm proud to stand with these nurses and Teamsters Local 90 as they fight for what's fair.

For the last seven years, I've been proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with homeowners in manufactured housing communities fighting out-of-state corporations jacking up up rents.

Thank you to the Oaknoll Retirement Community for the warm welcome. The cuts to Medicaid we're facing could be devastating for many of the folks I talked to.

Iowans need access to local hospitals and healthcare they can afford. Republicans control the government and could make it happen, but they’ve refused to come to the table. It’s wrong.

Republicans are about to shutdown the government instead of protect Americans healthcare and Ashley Hinson isn't even in Washington to try to prevent it. Insane.

We need an immigration system based on order, clarity, and the rule of law — not more chaos.

Like Chloe said, 10/10 would marry again.

Last week was full of picnics, parks, and conversations with Iowans about what they need from their next US Senator. Big thanks to the Marion County and Johnston Area Democrats for hosting.

To the Jewish community in Iowa and around the world, wishing a very sweet and joyful new year. L’Shana Tova!

Farmers are fed up with tariffs. Iowans are fed up with a system that was built to serve those at the top. It’s time for leaders who are ready to build a new economy that works for everyone.

Tariffs are crushing farmers. Even Chuck Grassley said we’re looking at a crisis. Soybean prices haven’t made it above break even price for almost a year. Farmers are losing money on every bushel. It’s time for leaders who prioritize Iowa, not party loyalty.

Community Meal is only one of many incredible programs offered by the Coralville Food Pantry. They offer summer lunch to students, share fresh produce with folks who need it most, and even offer a community seed library. Huge thanks to CCFP for all you do. And for the ice cream.
