RT @sesamestreet: Happy #RoshHashanah to all of our friends! May the new year bring you and your family peace, joy and love. https://t.co/e&
I'm running for Chair of the @iowademocrats to restore confidence in our party & bring the proven leadership needed to turn Iowa blue in 2020. Im a sixth generation Iowan. My roots are as deep in this state as my commitment to the values of the Iowa Democratic Party.
.@IAGovernor is this accurate? Or is he lying? Is he not getting any calls from our state asking for more PPE when just hours ago you announced statewide shortages and issued a PPE usage order to address the concerning lack of resources? https://t.co/mhl56LjIkv
Proud to be the new Chair of @iowademocrats. On to victory in November 2020! https://t.co/LdqJDkw9GX
Im proud to be on #TeamTheresa during tonight's #IASen debate. @GreenfieldIowa is a scrappy farm kid who will always stand up for Iowans in the Senate and shes going to beat @joniernst. https://t.co/75ccEz6Ct5
Today, I'm excited to pass the torch to the new IDP Chair @Ross_Wilburn. It's been an honor to serve in this role and I know that Ross will lead Iowa Democrats with compassion and bring much-needed energy to our organizing efforts.
Watching the #IASen debate I know one thing for sure -- I can't wait for @GreenfieldIowa to be the next U.S. Senator from Iowa. #IASen #TeamTheresa
Congratulations to @GreenfieldIowa on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. A scrappy farm kid whose life experience embodies the Iowa story, Theresa will be a champion for our working families by cleaning up a corrupt Washington.
Gov. @KimReynoldsIAs false equivalence between a multicultural coalition organizing for civil rights and a violent white supremacist insurrection speaks volumes. Its clear what she stands for, and who shes willing to throw under the bus.
