SAGE FOR SENATE

Give now to turn Iowa blue and take back the Senate for Democrats >>

We can defeat Ernst and stand up to the billionaire class who are crushing working families. But we can only do it together.

Ad copy

If Democrats are going to take back control of the Senate in 2026, we must defeat Republican Joni Ernst and turn Iowa blue. I’m the Democrat running for U.S. Senate against Ernst here in Iowa, and I’m asking if you can make a donation to my campaign before midnight tonight to help me win and take back the Senate for Democrats. In her last election, my opponent Joni Ernst barely won reelection. She skated by with less than 52% of the vote in one of the closest Senate races in the country. I’m running for Senate because I am sick of watching politicians – Democrat and Republican – take millions of dollars from corporate PACs and then turn around and vote against working-class families like mine. I grew up in a trailer park. I know what it means to struggle to get by. But if I’m going to take on a corporate Republican – and all of her billionaire Super PAC friends – and win, I am counting on your help now. We need to raise another $20,000 before our critical fundraising deadline at midnight tonight, but right now we are still falling extremely short. The only way we will defeat Republican Joni Ernst and take back the Senate for Democrats is if grassroots donors like you chip in every dollar you can right now. Nobody will stand up to the billionaires more or fight harder for working-class people in the Senate than me. Please, will you make a monthly donation to my campaign for U.S. Senate right now to help me defeat Republican Joni Ernst, turn Iowa blue, and take back the Senate for Democrats? We have a chance to defeat Ernst and stand up to the billionaire class who are crushing working families right now. But we can only do it together. Thank you for anything you are able to chip in today, Nathan Sage
