In a moment, I’m gonna ask you to make a donation to my campaign for U.S. Senate against Republican Joni Ernst here in Iowa. But before I do, please let me explain why your donation today is so important if we’re going to turn Iowa blue and take back the Senate for Democrats. When I think about what’s going on in Washington right now, it makes me sick. We live in the richest country in the world, but families like mine struggle every day just to get by. And what are our so-called “representatives” doing about it? These mega-corporations jack up their prices, pay their workers like shit, and then turn around and buy politicians like my Republican opponent so they can keep getting away with it. Wouldn’t it be nice if finally – just for once – there were somebody in the Senate actually fighting for us, instead of just yet another corporate Democrat or spineless Republican? In Joni Ernst’s last election, she barely won with less than 52% of the vote. Now, I’m the Democrat running against her in 2026 – and with your donation today, we are going to turn Iowa blue and take back the Senate for Democrats. We can flip this Senate seat blue, but we’ve set a goal to raise another $20,000 before midnight tonight to fight back against the billionaires and their Super PACs – and right now, we’re still extremely short with time running out. I sure as hell ain’t taking money from corporate PACs, but that means I’ve got nowhere else to turn: Please, will you make a monthly donation to my campaign right now – every dollar you can afford – to help me defeat Republican Joni Erst, turn Iowa blue, and take back our Democratic Senate majority? Life should not be this hard in the richest country in the world. Together, we can take on greedy corporations – and the politicians they own – and we can win. Thank you, Nathan Sage
