Hardworking Iowan families deserve better than Joni Ernst – a power-hungry leader who passed the bill that will kick millions of Americans off their healthcare, just to give the richest a tax break. Twelve years ago, Ernst promised Iowans she’d only serve two terms. Now, she’s refusing to retire – turning her back on voters and running for a third term. She isn’t fighting for Iowans. She’s fighting to stay in power. Zach Wahls is running to bring a new generation of leadership to the U.S. Senate, and knows that Iowans deserve more than career politicians like Ernst. If you believe Ernst should stand by the promise she made to Iowans and retire, sign on today.
