Hey Friend – I wanted to take a moment to give you a quick update on what our team has been up to on the ground in NE Iowa to build a campaign that will finally send a voice for hardworking Iowans to Washington. 

But before I get to all of that, I need to ask for your help.

We’re coming up on our end-of-month fundraising deadline, and I can’t stress enough how important hitting our goal is if we’re going to take back this district for Iowans who have been ignored by Rod Blum for too long. Chip in whatever you can to help us hit our goal before midnight! >> https://secure.actblue.com/donate/af-eom-july17?refcode=em073117-plain

Alright, now I want to let you know about some exciting things happening with Abby’s campaign. 

First, we just picked up AFSCME Council 61’s endorsement, and we’re damn excited about it! Getting an endorsement from AFSCME this early in the race is a huge deal – they have 40,000+ members in Iowa and do an amazing job of turning those folks out in elections. You can read the full endorsement here, but I think President Danny Homan summed it up best. 

“Now more than ever we need a fighter with Abby's background, backbone, and experience taking on anti-worker GOP policies in Washington.”

The endorsement comes on the heels of endorsements from EMILY’s List, the Dubuque Building and Construction Trades, UA Local 125 and more than 20 Democratic Party leaders in the less than 3 months since Abby kicked off her campaign. Click here to check out the full list.

We also announced an impressive amount raised during our first report to the FEC. In just 2 months, more than 550 people chipped in more than $155,000 to our campaign to send Abby to fight for them in Congress. It’s a number we’re proud of, and that Abby is especially thankful for, but we know it’s going to take a lot more than that to take down Rod Blum and his corporate-backed campaign’s war chest. 

Which is why I’ve got to ask you for your help once again. Will you help Abby and this team hit our July fundraising goal by donating $10 or more before midnight? https://secure.actblue.com/donate/af-eom-july17?refcode=em073117-plain

We’re well on our way to building a campaign across this district that will take down Blum, and send a fighter for the working class that’s desperately needed in Congress, but it’s going to take all of us to make sure we get it done.

It’s on us to take back Iowa’s 1st District. Do you want someone who won’t back down from fighting for you, or someone who runs away from answering questions?

The choice is clear. You can step up for Abby right now. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/af-eom-july17?refcode=em073117-plain

Thank you for everything.
