Ad copy

Former Senator Claire McCaskill just made a HUGE prediction: Nathan Sage, the Democrat running for U.S. Senate against Republican Joni Ernst, has a real chance of flipping Iowa’s Senate seat blue! Nathan Sage is exactly the kind of candidate who can flip a state like Iowa blue for Democrats. Nathan grew up in a trailer park, served three tours in Iraq, is the president of his local chamber of commerce, and is a working class Democrat who can take on Joni Ernst and actually win. Democrats MUST take back the Senate if we’re going to stop Elon Musk and Donald Trump from destroying our democracy. That’s why Nathan Sage’s campaign against Joni Ernst in Iowa is so important. Senate control will likely be decided in Iowa – and in her last election, Joni Ernst won reelection with less than 52% of the vote in one of the closest Senate races in the country! But if Nathan Sage is going to defeat Republican Joni Ernst, turn Iowa blue, and take back our Democratic majority in the Senate, we’re counting on grassroots donors like you now. We need to raise another $25,000 today to fight back against Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Super PACs, but right now we’re still extremely short with time running out: Please, will you click here right now and make a monthly donation to help Democrat Nathan Sage defeat Joni Ernst, turn Iowa blue, and take back our Democratic majority? Claire McCaskill believes Nathan Sage can flip Iowa blue and take back the Senate for Democrats. But we’re counting on you to chip in now if Nathan is going to win.
