First, if you don't know, Iowa has a primary election coming on June 5.
For Democrats, Iowa also has a great slate of candidates for governor and the other state-wide offices. I urge you to get to know the candidates. I have heard them all speak and respond to questions and concerns from Iowans.
Nate Boulton represents an extraordinary opportunity for Iowa to return to policies that will truly benefit Iowans. Boulton is an intelligent, compassionate and politically savvy state senator that fits most comfortably in our shared values and understands Iowa's long-term goals.
He has the energy and the strategy to guide our state back to more equitable economic growth, a living wage for more of our citizens, and restoring collective bargaining that's key to building a strong, thriving middle class.
We have an embarrassment of riches in terms of candidates, but Nate Boulton is the whole package; the right person at the right time and someone Iowans can be proud of as our governor. Stop letting people buy their way into public office. Join Iowans across the state in supporting Nate Boulton for governor.
