I’m starting to think Iowa is not so nice.

Please share at will if you agree!

I want to congratulate all the voters, volunteers, the IDP and our newest state legislator Catelin Drey from Iowa Senate District 1. A lot of people here have been pretty dismissive about any prospects for change in Iowa’s political landscape, and I hope this result - in a district Trump carried in 2024 by 11.5% - gives some of you hope for a brighter future for Iowans.

Many of your neighbors are sick and tired of the same shit in government (local, county, state and national) you are, and many of us are looking for change. If you feel like a tiny dot of blue in a sea of red, CALL YOUR COUNTY PARTY CHAIR AND GET INVOLVED. STAND UP. MEET PROGRESSIVES! RUN FOR SOMETHING!

Democrats and progressives have opportunities to make change in every corner of this state up and down the ballot - Christ I never thought I’d be so impressed by our neighbors in Steve King country but it turns out that there are people like me everywhere across this state.
