Dear 🇺🇸, We gave it everything we had. Beating Steve King would have been the real great replacement. I can’t thank everyone enough for the support. Despite my mother reminding me I’m jobless, single and lived out of an RV the last 6 months, I am going to be ok. 🙏 🙏 🙏

The reality is that 90% of the food Iowans eat is imported from out of state and out of country. Do you know where the majority of it comes from? California (*not the fancy part where Ashley went to college)… 🇺🇸

I don’t want to see the country look like California. I think the country needs to look a whole lot more like Iowa! That’s why I’m running for U.S. Senate.

We’re borrowing money from China to give to our farmers to not sell our products to China.

Today I am making good on my promise to defend our Farmers & Ranchers from unjustified trade retaliation by foreign nations. I have authorized Secretary Perdue to implement the 2nd round of Market Facilitation Payments. Our economy is stronger than ever–we stand with our Farmers!

Seeing the confederate flag being swung around inside the US Capitol today is one of the most disgraceful things I have ever seen. 🇺🇸

Thank you for clarifying what “antithesis” means.

My opponent is the antithesis (the opposite) of Iowa values. My record proves I embody them. Don’t let the million$ from Left Coast billionaires pay in advance and buy your Congressman.

National folks might want to start paying attention to the Iowa Senate race: @FrankenforIowa has outraised the octogenarian Senator Grassley $4,208,670.08 to $2,959,256.37 to date in 2022!

Steve King set a low bar. And it was our campaign that defeated him. Not-Steve King isn't good enough. We need leadership and vision and not another corporate-backed career politician. Join our people-powered, no corporate-PAC campaign here:

We did it! Steve King is Out. Now help elect J.D. Scholten!

Just curious, his previous comments weren’t “offensive and racist” and that’s why you campaigned with him two days before November’s election?

I condemn Rep. Steve King’s comments on white supremacy; they are offensive and racist - and not representative of our state of Iowa. We are a great nation and this divisiveness is hurting everyone. We cannot continue down this path if we want to continue to be a great nation.
