I'm really proud of what we accomplished together in '24:

-improved our total % vote share by roughly 3% from 2022 to 2024, while earning almost 40,000 more votes in ‘24 than in ‘22, in a down cycle for Democrats nationally,

-improved our total % vote share in 34 of the district’s 36 counties, some by as much as 7% from '22 to '24, while holding steady in the other 2,

-forced numerous conversations in our district that my opponent Randy Feenstra doesn't talk about that are now becoming increasingly bipartisan state-level public conversations, among things like cancer, water quality, and the CO2 pipelines,

-earned an unprecedented endorsement of my general election opponent's primary Republican challenger that sent the Iowa GOP into a week of panic tweeting and made national news, that led in part to earning the votes of tens of thousands of non-Democrats,

-helped to drive a 7-candidate increase in the number of Democrats in our congressional district that ran for state house from '22 to '24,

-helped develop an energy on the ground in the 4th that has continued to sustain itself with increased Democratic activism that continues through today despite how conservative our district is,

-hit Cook Ratings expectations (swing compared to presidential election) in one of the most conservative congressional districts in the country while earning the same % of vote in the district as our presidential candidate (who raised $2 Billion compared to my $150K), while not taking a penny of corporate PAC money,

-reached hundreds of thousands of Iowans via text messaging campaigns,

-tens of thousands more were reached with radio, online streaming video/audio, and newspaper advertisements,

-40,000 postcards and thousands of handouts and yard signs were sent and distributed,

-earned a 97% “happily support” response rate from the hundreds of anonymous survey replies received if I were to run again in 2026.
