Washington is broken. And it's not a mystery why. When politicians take millions of dollars from corporate PACs, pharmaceutical companies, and special interests, they stop working for us and work only for their donors. Join Zach Wahls in Iowa City for the Iowans Over Insiders Tour. Zach is running to bring a new generation of leadership to the U.S. Senate to take on the corruption in our politics that keeps costs high for everyday Iowans. Zach will be in Iowa City on Tuesday, April 14th to share more about his campaign and hear from you about how we build a new path forward for Iowa and the country.
