Zach Wahls is announcing his run for U.S. Senate in Iowa to bring a new generation of leadership to Washington. Many politicians have been in office for so long that they’ve lost touch with the challenges our hardworking families face. Just look at Senator Joni Ernst. When Iowans warned her that the GOP’s plan to gut Medicaid would kill people, she responded, “Well, we’re all going to die.” Joni Ernst doesn’t get it. It’s as simple as that. We need leaders who know our struggles and will finally put our families first. So as we kick off this campaign, join us and become a Day One Donor.
