WAHLS FOR IOWA
Fifteen years ago, Zach Wahls delivered this speech to the Iowa State Legislature, which changed his life. It was a speech about love, family, and equality. Now, Zach is running for the United States Senate because Iowa deserves a leader who will bring that same courage to Washington. If you believe in this type of leadership, one grounded in compassion, we need you in this fight. Chip in $5, $10, or whatever you can to help power this movement.
