Ad copy

Hi, I’m Chloe, Zach’s wife. Zach is a sixth-generation Iowan running to make Iowa a place where the economy works for everyone, and his campaign is building momentum. A new general election poll shows that Zach is just two points behind his Republican opponent, so we need your help to close the gap and flip this seat from red to blue. Can we count on your support today?
