"In football and in life, you learn to recognize real leaders - people who show up when it matters and fight for their team. That's exactly what Zach has done throughout his career in public service. He's fought for Iowa families, supported our communities, and shown he has the character and determination to deliver results. He's building a coalition that includes West High Trojans, City High Little Hawks, Hawkeyes, Cyclones, Panthers, Bulldogs, and more, because he'll work with anyone to get the job done. Iowa needs that kind of leadership in the U.S. Senate."

“Zach has never been afraid to take on powerful special interests, whether it’s fighting corporate greed or banning insider trading in politics. Iowans need a champion for working people to take on corruption in Washington, and Zach is the best candidate to beat Joni Ernst and deliver for Iowa families.”

“If you work hard for a living, Zach Wahls is on your side. Zach has always stood with working people, retirees, and middle-class families. He has the courage to stand up for us and against the corporate special interests, and he’s unafraid to stand up against corruption in either party when he feels it’s hurting Iowans.”

“It's time for Iowa Democrats to embrace a new generation of leaders. That's why I enthusiastically support Zach Wahls for US Senate. Zach is unafraid to challenge the broken political status quo and unfair economy that is leaving too many Iowans behind. Iowa desperately needs new leaders with fresh ideas, and Iowa needs Zach Wahls in the US Senate."

“Zach has always demonstrated the courage to stand up for what’s right. With Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid under threat from politicians in Washington, we need a Senator with the backbone to fight for us. I know Zach will be that leader, and we need Zach in the United States Senate.”
