Team,

Just over a week ago, Ras officially announced his campaign for Governor of Iowa, and he’s already making headlines:

'There is a place for you here': Democratic state Rep. Ras Smith to run for Iowa governor in 2022
— Des Moines Register

Democratic Rep. Ras Smith Launches 'Historic' Bid For Governor In Downtown Waterloo
— Iowa Public Radio

Time to be ‘bold about the basics,’ gubernatorial candidate Ras Smith says
— Radio Iowa

But this isn’t about Ras: it’s about you. It’s about all of us, coming together for a better Iowa.

Ras believes Iowans deserve a governor who works just as hard as they do, and that this office is about returning power to the people. To create an Iowa as great as we want it to be.

This is a grassroots campaign by and for Iowans. Will you help us keep up the momentum to make Ras our next governor and unite to find solutions to our common struggles by chipping in $5 or whatever you can today?

Our work is just getting started.

— Team Ras
