I would like to take a moment to send thanks to the supporters of my special election campaign for Iowa’s 25th Senate District.

While the results didn’t turn out the way we had hoped, we will do everything possible to change that fact in November. The level of excitement for the April 10 special election was unprecedented for this district.

I will never be able to wholly express with words how deeply affected I am by the support I’ve received from loved ones, friends and complete strangers.

The fact that so many people stepped up and empowered themselves to make a difference is truly inspiring. It’s going to take all of us working together to get Iowa and this country moving in the right direction. On to November!
