WAHLS FOR IOWA
We’ve got BIG news here in Iowa. I’m Zach Wahls, and Republicans just announced they’re spending $29,000,000 to bail out Ashley Hinson and keep this seat red. That tells you everything you need to know: they’re scared. Iowa is one of the best chances in the country to flip a Senate seat. But we’re up against massive spending from corporate PACs and dark money groups trying to drown us out. I don’t take corporate PAC money. This campaign is powered by people. If we’re going to fight back and win, I need your help. Can you chip in $15, $25, $50, or whatever you can today to help us flip this seat blue?
