DONATE TO FIGHT BACK

Josh has the grit and determination it’ll take to beat Joni Ernst. Will you chip in today to help him win Iowa’s U.S. Senate seat?

Ad copy

A dark money group just rolled out a six-figure digital and TV ad campaign to keep Iowa’s Senate seat red. That sounds scary – and it is – but we’ll let you in on a little secret: They took this drastic step because 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘳𝘦 scared. They’re scared of our grassroots movement. They’re scared we received contributions from all 99 counties in Iowa. And they’re terrified that 97% of donations were $100 or less. Those are the stats of a truly grassroots movement. The D.C. calvary is coming in to rescue Ashley Hinson, but her record of failing Iowans speaks for itself. Will you rush a donation of $10 to help us show our Republican opponent that no amount of dark money can compete with the power of our grassroots movement?
