Endorsements

"Iowa State Senator Wahls has never been afraid to take on the political establishment to fight for what’s right. He’s running on a bold, popular agenda – ban congressional stock trading, raise the minimum wage, strengthen unions, make child care and health care more affordable – that’s inspiring a grassroots movement for change. The only way we’re going to root out corruption in Washington and unrig the economy in favor of working families is to elect new leadership, and that’s why I’m proud to endorse Zach for U.S. Senate."

"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.”

“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.”
