I had missed this: In a small, rural Iowa county, Floyd County, a Democrat won one of the three seats on the county's board of supervisors tonight.

He ousted the Republican who'd been appointed to replace the Republican supervisor who passed away.

New: Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn gave the keynote address at Thursday's Iowa Democratic Wing Ding.

By speaking candidly about his own struggles and doubts, he offered a path forward for demoralized Democrats everywhere.

Whether the person never heard of U.S. Senate candidate Josh Turek or has followed his career in sports or the Iowa legislature, I’ve heard nothing but high praise for his launch video. #IASen

Harry Dunn is a for real hero, and a wonderful speaker. The Wing Ding audience loved his speech. Afterward we lined up for selfies, and opportunities to thank him for all he has done for our country.

Happy Friday! Traveling home from speaking at the Iowa Wing Ding, truly was a great time. Even had the privilege to sign the famed wall at the Surf Ballroom! Iowa is working hard to turn their state back blue!

A decade of one-party rule in Des Moines hasn’t solved Iowa’s toughest challenges — our economy ranks 49th, personal income growth 48th, public education at the middle of the pack, and we're #1 in cancer growth.

I was glad to speak at this year’s Wing Ding to talk about real solutions for Iowans.

A packed Wing Ding in Clear Lake last night showed us what we already know.

Iowa Democrats are ready to put in the work, every day, in every county to win up and down the ballot next year.

And finally send Joni Ernst packing.
