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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.
