SAGE FOR SENATE
BREAKING NEWS
I’m not taking money from corporate PACs, so no amount is too small.

It’s Nathan Sage – the former Marine and Democrat running for U.S. Senate here in Iowa. We just got breaking news: Republican Senator Joni “We’re All Going to Die” Ernst is NOT running for reelection – making Iowa now one of Democrats’ best chances to flip a Senate seat blue in 2026! Iowa was already one of our best pick-up opportunities: Ernst only won re-election with less than 52% of the vote in one of the closest Senate races in the country. But with this news, the GOP Super PACs are about to go into overdrive to try to save their Republican Senate majority. We’ve set an emergency goal to raise $25,000 to fight back and flip Iowa’s Senate seat blue, but right now, we’re still very short. The only way we’ll be able to win and take back the Senate is if you give right now: Please, will you make a monthly donation to our campaign now – every dollar you can afford before midnight tonight – to help me flip Iowa blue and take back the Senate for Democrats? Thanks for everything you do, Nathan Sage
