It's Primary Election Day! Make your voice heard until 8pm tonight! If you are in , I would be honored to earn your vote. And yes, it was a little surreal to vote for myself for Iowa Senate instead of the House!

As a reminder, you can register to vote (or change party registration) at the polls. Just bring your ID and proof of residency.

Congrats to Heather Matson on your States Win endorsement! 💙

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY! 📢

I'm incredibly excited to be endorsed by States Win, an organization committed to lifting up progressive candidates running in critical state legislative races across the country!

In 2025, Iowa Senate Democrats broke the supermajority, and our race is next to keep building back to the majority. I'm grateful to the team at States Win for recognizing what's at stake in Iowa and for being a part of our team. Next up: getting to the Senate so I can continue the work of ensuring economic security and opportunity for all Ankeny families AND make Iowa a place where everyone can not just survive, but thrive!

What a fun night with Team Molly Buck! 💙

Last night’s trivia fundraiser for Molly Buck brought together neighbors, volunteers, candidates, and community members who care deeply about the future of Ankeny and Iowa. Rooms like that remind us why local organizing matters so much.

Between rounds, we got to learn more about Molly herself, including her 31 years as a teacher and her journey beating cancer. Ankeny is lucky to have someone with her strength, compassion, and commitment stepping up to serve our community.

Thank you to everyone who came out, donated, laughed, competed, and helped make the night such a success. Let’s keep the momentum going all the way to November 2026. ✨
