Chuck Schumer said he was staying out of Iowa’s Democratic Senate primary. But new filings tell a different story: Schumer-aligned money and a billionaire-backed dark money machine are quietly boosting moderate Josh Turek over progressive Zach Wahls.

I’m voting for Zach Wahls today. Tough decision but his willingness to challenge the “do nothing” Democrats is what I found most appealing

Good morning Iowa! Today is Election Day, and polls are open until 8PM. You can find all the information you need about voting today, including your polling location, information about same-day registration, and more here: sos.iowa.gov/elections-vo...

Iowa: Why I’m Backing Zach Wahls for US Senate OPINION: Here's why Quentin Hart, the former mayor of Waterloo, said he is supporting Zach Wahls for the U.S. #Iowa #Politics

This campaign started with a simple conviction: Iowa deserves a senator who is actually working for Iowans. Not for party bosses. Not for outside special interests. Not for the corporations and the billionaires who have corrupted our politics and rigged our economy. For Iowa. For us. For you.

Honored to have your support @repaime.bsky.social!!

"It was clear that he understood the gravity of the fight and who he is fighting for." Sophia Joseph explains why the Cedar Rapids-based progressive group We are CR decided to endorse @zachwahls.bsky.social in the #IASen primary: www.bleedingheartland.com/2026/05/28/t...

Democrats can and should be the party to bring big change.

Veterans and military families, come meet @zachwahls.bsky.social in person. Join us at Big Grove Brewery in Des Moines for a casual meet and greet. Bring your family and connect with the veterans organizing in your community. Thursday, 28 May, at 5:00 P.M. RSVP: https://bit.ly/42WrIDW

Over on Twitter, Kim Reynolds — whose poor comms staffer doesn’t even know how to spell “Carhartt” — is accusing Rob Sand of playing dress up, which is funny, because I don’t remember her showing up with a chainsaw after a derecho leveled Cedar Rapids.

A month before Josh Turek struggled through a denial that he wasn't a D.C. insider during the Iowa Democratic primary debate for the Senate, he took $20,000 from Senator Chuck Schumer and allies. This is a Schumer candidacy. It has been a Schumer candidacy.

This baseless complaint brought by the Turek campaign was unanimously dismissed by the bipartisan Iowa Senate Ethics Committee. The Turek campaign is worried the $10 million that Chuck Schumer’s dark money network is spending to try and buy Josh the Senate nomination won’t be enough.

Just posted: Pete D'Alessandro makes his case for @zachwahls.bsky.social in the #IASen Democratic primary. He starts with a simple question: “What kind of candidate can rebuild trust with working people across this state?” www.bleedingheartland.com/2026/05/21/t...

They are not even bothering to hide the corruption anymore. Donald Trump is using our tax dollars as his personal piggy bank to reward his loyal allies. Ashley Hinson is cheering him on. It has to stop.

@zachwahls.bsky.social: "Iowans need a fighter in Washington. I have never back down, and I never will.”

Today, Common Defense endorses @zachwahls.bsky.social for U.S. Senate. A sixth-generation Iowan. A proven advocate for working families. Ready to take on corruption and stand up to the corporate power squeezing Iowa. Veterans are proud to stand with him.

We're excited to release our second ad! Iowans need a Senator willing to take on the party bosses, and fight back against Trump’s attacks on our democracy. I have never backed down from a tough fight. Make your plan to vote on or before June 2.

Iowa! Early voting starts today! Head over to your local county auditor’s office to vote early in person. To find information on early voting hours and location in your county visit zachwahls.com/earlyvote

We don't need more Fettermans in the US Senate. I would be a proud YES vote to end the war in Iran.

Donald Trump is the most serious threat to American democracy in our lifetimes. Democrats need to stop bringing strongly worded letters to a constitutional crisis. Here's my plan to fight back like we actually mean it ⬇️ zachwahls.substack.com/p/restoring-...

New post by Jill Shudak: If a Democrat is going to win this seat, the nominee has to be someone willing to stand up to the Democratic establishment, not someone handpicked by it. www.bleedingheartland.com/2026/05/07/w...

I’m running for the US Senate to fix the rigged system and fight for Iowa families. This isn’t about left vs right, it’s about right vs wrong. We’re building a grassroots team that is showing up across Iowa. I hope you’ll join us.

There's a clear choice in this primary on immigration: My opponent, Josh Turek, voted with Republicans to pass SF2340, "Iowa's worst-ever immigration law" according to @aclu.org. I voted against this bill because it makes all Iowans less safe.

There is a reason dozens of Iowa unions back my campaign for U.S. Senate. They know I’m the candidate who will shake up the status quo, crush the corruption, and deliver for working families.

@zachwahls.bsky.social, whose primary opponent has received almost $7 MILLION in backing from a Schumer-adjacent SuperPAC: "Dark money has an agenda, and that agenda is to protect the broken status quo and the failed leadership of Senator Schumer."

Dark money has an agenda, and that agenda is protecting the failed leadership of Chuck Schumer and an establishment that has failed Iowans.

"This is government overreach"—part of State Senator Zach Wahls' remarks during Sunday's debate over a bill restricting medication abortion in Iowa. @zachwahls.bsky.social #ialegis

Health care is a human right. That's why I think every Iowan deserves access to affordable, quality care. Read my plan to achieve universal coverage zachwahls.substack.com/p/affordable...

I know how scary it felt when the government was coming for my family and how badly I wanted someone to fight for me. I’m in this race for every Iowa family who needs a fighter in their corner.

Awesome first ad from @zachwahls.bsky.social. For years, Zach has shown that he'll stand up for Iowans when they're under attack - whether that threat is coming from massive corporations, their CEOs, or elected officials meant to represent the people. Iowa would be lucky to have him in the Senate.

Our first ad is on the air! I’ve never backed down from a fight for Iowa families. That’s who this campaign is for - not the billionaires, lobbyists, or DC insiders. Thanks to the tens of thousands of grassroots donors who made this possible.

Elizabeth Warren to campaign in Iowa for Zach Wahls in U.S. Senate race

I think it's time for a new leader of the Senate Democrats. My primary opponent supports Chuck Schumer, and as a result, he's receiving millions of dollars in Super PAC funding. That's the choice in this election: change vs the status quo.

Senator @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social is coming back to Iowa to support our campaign to end the corruption in Washington and build an economy that works for Iowans, not just the billionaires and political insiders. Join us May 10th in Des Moines!

My campaign gets a lot of candidate questionnaires, but the only place for this one is in the trash.

For fifty years, Washington insiders in both parties have given Iowa a bad deal. Today I'm releasing my plan to deliver a better one — to keep Iowa farmland in Iowa hands, take on the corporations squeezing our family farms, and give the next generation a real shot at the future.

Iowa deserves a Senator who fights for working families, not for the corporations and billionaires who’ve been calling the shots for too long. iowastartingline.com/news/politic...

Democratic Iowa U.S. Senate candidate Zach Wahls unveils economic policy plan

Today I released the second part of my Iowans Over Insiders agenda. Part one of my agenda was about ending the rigged system. Part two is about building a better economy in its place. Read my plan here: substack.com/home/post/p-...

I’m not the pick of Chuck Schumer or the DC establishment. Fine by me. I’ve been clear from day 1 that the status quo isn’t worth protecting. That means electing new leaders and taking on the corruption - in both parties. I’m running to be a Senator for Iowans, not Washington insiders.

We're taking our Iowans Over Insiders message to every corner of the state. Check out our updates from the first events of our statewide tour: open.substack.com/pub/zachwahl...

You deserve a Senator who you trust is working for you, the taxpayer, not enriching themselves and their bank account at your expense. It is time to put Iowans over insiders. dailyiowan.com/2026/04/14/i...

Another poll shows what we've been saying all along - Iowa's ready to flip, and I've built the strongest campaign that can make it happen.
