WAHLS FOR IOWA

ad creative

Ad copy

Being a champion for reproductive rights means showing up to every fight. During my 7 years in State Senate I’ve fought back against Republican attacks on women’s rights and cosponsored dozens of bills to protect them. There are clear differences between candidates on this issue in the race for US Senate in Iowa on both the Republican and Democratic sides. Representative Turek has never sponsored a single piece of reproductive rights legislation - the only Democrat who hasn’t done so in the last 3 years. And Ashley Hinson has voted to ban abortion nationwide. Iowa women need a champion, and my record speaks for itself.
