Hey, it’s Zach Wahls here with a huge update: we just got new general election polling numbers (somebody else’s poll, not ours) and we’re within striking distance of flipping Iowa’s open U.S. Senate seat. If you’re waiting for the right time to make a grassroots contribution to our people-powered campaign, this is the moment. Please consider pitching in today to help us flip this Senate seat and take back the majority in November.
