Friend,
Before I ask you to
chip in $30 to our mid-month goal, I want to share a few updates on the strike at John Deere and our race. It's important to me that you're kept in the loop:
• Last week, National Republicans came out swinging against the workers, accusing them of "jeopardizing entire crops and the livelihood of farmers all across Iowa." My opponent Kim Reynolds has had a month to stand with them, but instead she's pandering to the far-right on issues like the pandemic and immigration. It's clear what side she's on.
• The far-right is rewarding her, handsomely. She announced she had over a million dollars in her warchest earlier this year. That number certainly grew after a boost from Donald Trump at his MAGA rally.
• In response, we're ramping up our organizing efforts. We're visiting every corner of the state to correct Reynolds' record. We're reminding Iowans that she rejected hundreds of millions of funds for our public schools, and has failed to stand with workers.
• In order to fund our campaign, we need to hit our $8,000 online fundraising goal for the month of November. We're still $6,744 short and need to pick up the pace. If ten people from your area chip in just $30, we'd hit our daily goal in an instant.
Friend, can you be one of my ten supporters from your area that chips in $30 or whatever you can before midnight tonight? Anything you give will go straight toward correcting Reynolds' record with more voters.
