BREAKING: @MattBlake_IA just FLIPPED Iowa’s SD-22!
Matt is committed to bringing common sense and mutual respect back to the state Senate at a time when unpopular, extremist legislation threatens Iowans’ fundamental freedoms.

Thanks to Brad Zaun and Eddie Andrews, our local schools lost $1million+ in funding.😢
If you believe public money should go to public schools, vote for @MattBlake_IA & @TiaraForIowa
Republican lawmakers have funneled over $1 million away from Johnston & Urbandale public schools in the first year alone, all to fund private school vouchers. Our public schools, where most Iowa students are educated, deserve that investment!

It’s not just Trump who poses a threat to democracy – his MAGA minions in the states are eroding voting rights.
That’s why we have to elect Democracy Defenders like these 10 candidates running in some of the most competitive state legislative races: dlcc.org/democracy
It was great sharing my story, campaign, and passion for public service. Iowans and voters in Senate District 22 are ready for a change in leadership in November!
