Yesterday, my campaign shattered an all-time fundraising record in Iowa: in 24 hours we raised over $276,000, the most any federal candidate has ever raised in their first day. When we win next November, it’ll be because of historic moments like this. #IowaStrong #Bomentum

President Biden’s war on energy is hurting middle America.
His radical green agenda is unaffordable, unsustainable, and unrealistic. foxnews.com/politics/us-grid…

A man who is under investigation for inciting an attack against our country and is under indictment for stealing & mishandling our National security information, got to appoint 3 Justices to lifetime seats on our Supreme Court, and almost exactly one year after they helped to overturn 50 years of abortion rights for women, they have helped to overturn 50 years of Affirmative Action for minorities.

Yes! Historic session of accomplishments and benefits for the people of Minnesota thanks to Dem trifecta! Impressive work!

Minnesota is showing Democrats everywhere why it’s important to deliver when you have power.
It’s a pretty simple lesson, but one that Democrats obviously need to study.

3-days. 60 meetings with members of Congress & the White House team, pushing to make stillbirth prevention a national priority. Grateful for all the moms & dads who flew to DC to share their stories & to so many Congressional members for agreeing to help champion the cause!

Co-Founder @janet4iowa is in DC raising awareness about the stillbirth crisis in the US with advocates from across the country. Follow along as she shares ideas for a stillbirth moonshot. Thanks @SenBooker and many others for championing this work. youtu.be/lXZ684PWqLU

Some personal news...After 22 years at WHO 13 (and it began with a two-year contract!), I've decided to find my "what's next." I'm so thankful to my colleagues for their teamwork and friendship, so grateful to viewers who trusted me...

GOP priorities. Private religious schools got $233 million MORE than our public schools for the 23-24 school year. More rural decline.

A 3% increase for public education just passed the House. 72 school districts will get less than last year and cut budgets as a result or have to raise property taxes. The majority of these districts are represented by Republican legislators. Here are those districts:

This slow motion train wreck to promote religious education comes at the expense of every kid and family that rely on their local public school.

Gov Reynolds signed a "Freedom Pledge" that parents have a right to your taxpayer money to pay for them to homeschool their kids. This is STEP 1 toward fulfilling her pledge. The price is huge for our kids & your pocketbook $900 million to start. iowastartingline.com/2023/01…
