Kind of in-your-face, I know

Instead of typing out 500 words explaining my backstory and my plans for the future, I’ll sum it all up like this:

1 bronze medal. 2 gold medals. But winning a place in the United States Senate will be the most rewarding victory of my life.

Before I get ahead of myself, there are a few smaller wins I need to secure first.

• Hitting my monthly fundraising target

• Filing a killer end-of-quarter FEC report next month

• Keeping my TV ads on the air

• Reaching every on-the-fence voter in Iowa

My opponents have $55 million to spend against me before November, but I refuse to let them psych me out.

My head is fully, 100% in the game.

Our once-in-a-generation opportunity to take this country back is so close, I can taste it. But I can’t pull off this epic upset victory without you.

Will you chip in $2 to help me clinch this seat AND the Senate majority?
