Thank you to the hardworking folks at the Des Moines Local APWU for inviting me to speak!

OVER 70 EVENTS & 8,000 MILES. This campaign is fueled by the grassroots and people like you, not corporate donors. We’re hitting every county to fight for the 99%, because the 1% has their thumb on the scale. It’s time we break the system that has ignored the working class for too long!

As this administration and Ashley look to close our rural hospitals, rip thousands off Medicaid, gut VA services, and raise premiums all in order to cut taxes for their billionaire buddies, Democrats in Washington need to grow a backbone!

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT: CATS FOR NATHAN SAGE!

Nothing beats pie on a Sunday afternoon except a packed house of fired up Iowans! No matter where we go, one thing remains clear: Iowans are fed up with supposed leaders like Ashley selling them out to the highest bidder. It’s time we elect a working-class candidate to fight for us in Washington.

This is personal to me. My dad worked his entire life but still couldn't afford the care he needed, and delayed going to the doctor at the cost of his own life.

If you had to describe Ashley Hinson in one word, what would it be? 👇

- Unemployment up to 3.8% - 2,300 fewer jobs than a year ago - 15,000 more unemployed Iowans than job openings Is this "the golden age for our economy" you were talking about Ashley?

I’m getting really sick and tired of writing these tweets. How many more headlines? How many more layoffs? How many more Iowans have to suffer before Ashley admits these reckless tariffs are crushing working people?

Hey Ashley, I think you forgot to roll an endorsement out this week but don't worry, I got this one!

Let me get this right. 1) The FCC threatened ABC. 2) ABC censored and punished Kimmel out of fear of retaliation.

Rural hospitals closing. Our most vulnerable having their healthcare ripped away. Working people paying more for their premiums.

I’m not running to repeat the same mistakes the Democratic Party has made time and time again.

Here we go again - these tariffs are devastating farmers, forcing manufacturers to layoff workers, and raising prices for Iowans. And what is @ashley doing? Surrendering all power to an administration hell bent on making life harder for working class people.

Don’t just take it from just me or the President of the Iowa Farmers Union, listen to Senator Chuck Grassley: these tariffs are "a stupid policy."

It isn’t an Iowa summer without the Polk County Steak Fry! Events like this aren’t easy to pull off, so a huge shoutout to the Polk County Democrats for organizing a great event. No matter our party, we are past politics as usual. We need something different, and Iowans know it.

Thank you, Burlington, for showing up to our Meet & Greet last week.

Iowans are FED UP with a system that works for billionaires and party bosses over working people. Politicians like Ashley Hinson have put their own interests ahead of Iowans for too long.

I’m not your run-of-the-mill politician. I’m not here to give you Washington approved talking points or tired one-liners. Our system is broken, and both parties are to blame. We can’t afford your typical politician, bought and paid for by billionaires, and in the pocket of party bosses.

We’ve held OVER 65 EVENTS and traveled OVER 7500 miles since our 99 County Tour kicked off! Everyone we hear from is afraid the "Big, Bullshit, Bill" is going to close our rural hospitals and afraid the National Guard is being used to police American civilians.

I was a junior in high school on 9/11 – it shaped the course of my life and it led me to take the oath to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

The news coming out of Utah is absolutely horrible. Political violence is a cowardly act. Regardless of our differences, no one should ever be attacked for their beliefs. My thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family right now.

The President’s continued threats to deploy the National Guard to Chicago, DC, LA, and NYC is bullshit – our troops have no business policing civilians just trying to live their lives. All this does is create fear and chaos, which is exactly what this administration wants.

Still think he’s the best president in history, Ashley?

Running for office shouldn't be about private fundraisers with billionaires and sucking up to corporations to get ahead (👀 Ashley) It's about showing up, shutting up, and fighting for Iowans. From Polk to Davis, Henry to Dallas, visiting every damn county and talking to YOU is part of the job!

Last night's Country, Community, and Candidates event in Nashua was what this campaign is all about. This is what Iowans deserve. No billionaires or Washington insiders deciding who our next Senator is going to be. Just leaders showing up and sharing their vision for the future of our state.

Seniors, people with disabilities, and our most vulnerable are already going to have their healthcare ripped away under the "Big, Bullshit, Bill" - now this administration is rewarding AI companies for designing models that deny claims. Absolutely shameful and predatory behavior.

The first step in combating Iowa’s water quality issues: BELIEVE IN SCIENCE and listen to the experts sounding the alarm across our state.

Who are you protecting Ashley? You would rather protect the predators on the Epstein files and the billionaires propping up your campaign than fight for Iowans.

Another huge crowd in Clinton over the weekend! We are building a working class movement county by county across Iowa, and I can’t wait to take YOU and this movement to Washington!

We had an absolutely PACKED HOUSE in Maquoketa this past weekend. Thanks to everyone who showed up - glad we all could celebrate Joni Ernst's retirement together!

Voted to cut Medicaid ✅ Voted to slash SNAP ✅ Voted to cut taxes for billionaires ✅ New candidate, same bullshit, same failed leadership.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. 👋

We won’t stop fighting until Washington works for ALL OF US, not just the billionaires and corporations buying off corrupt politicians.

Had a blast walking with the Polk County Dems today at the South Central Iowa Federation of Labor Parade. Thank you to the organizers who ensured it went off without a hitch - I'm proud to be fighting for a better future for all working families and union members across Iowa!

Happy Labor Day Iowa! Today, we recognize the work of organized labor to secure the 40-hour work week, safer working conditions, and better wages for working families. I am proud to stand in solidarity with union labor as we celebrate the hardworking people who keep our state and country running.

Attending the John L. Lewis Festival was a stark reminder on how Iowans have always been at the forefront of the Labor movement. As workers' rights and unions across the country are under attack we must do everything we can to fight to protect and secure the future for working people everywhere.

I’ve fought overseas and lived in different states, but my love for the Hawkeyes has never wavered. 💛🖤

We have done OVER 60 EVENTS since launching our 99 County Tour on August 1st. 60 events of meeting Iowans where they are. 60 events of hearing your struggles. 60 events of fighting for the working class and giving the finger to the top 1%. Find an event near you 🔗 below, I’d love to see you!

BREAKING NEWS: Joni “We’re All Going to Die” Ernst is bowing out of this race, because she knows what we’ve known for a long time — Iowa is WINNABLE! We’re the only campaign offering real change after decades of failed leadership from both parties, but we can’t do it without you. Chip in today!

It was an honor to meet with the Machinists Council last week. Everytime I broke a tool in Iraq, a machinist was there to fix it - truly amazing people. As unions are under attack and working families struggle to survive, we need leaders willing to fight for workers' rights and protections.

The administration's decision to no longer recognize AFGE's union contracts is a dangerous decision at a time when VA resources are already stretched thin and facing cuts in Iowa. We must do everything in our power to protect the workers and healthcare providers who support our Veterans every day.

I was honored to join the nurses and Teamsters Local 90 fighting to organize UnityPoint in Des Moines last week. They show up for us every day, and it's a damn shame our current Senator would rather fight for pharmaceutical CEO salaries and insurance companies profits.

You getting scared, Joni? Iowans are sick and tired of the political theater and dangerous policies that put working people last and billionaires first! Congrats on the win, Catelin! Let’s keep this momentum going, IOWA! 💪

If you live in Iowa Senate District 1, today’s a damn good day to vote for Catelin Drey and break the GOP supermajority in the state legislature!

No lengthy caption here. This is absolute bullshit and we need to act now to protect our water.

The working class built this damn country, and yet the rich keep getting richer while working class families get left behind. It was an honor to join the Iowa Federation of Labor last week to discuss how we need a senator who will fight to protect workers and build stronger unions.

You're damn right Tommy, we do have a chance in Iowa!

Another exciting week ahead on our 99 County Tour. We're fighting to bring working class representation in Washington, join me at an event near you - link below!

I am a rocker through and through - from my childhood to my time in Iraq, music has shaped me into the person I am today.
