What the Heck is Happening in Iowa? - A chat with Grace Van Cleave and Sarah Longwell from The Bulwark

Grace Van Cleave’s campaign for Iowa Senate District 17 is about building the kind of people-powered campaign that can meet this moment. Grace is running to bring a strong Democratic voice to the Statehouse, stand up for working families, protect public education, defend our rights, and make sure Iowa’s government reflects the needs of the people who live here.


On Thursday, May 27, join national political commentator Sarah Longwell of The Bulwark for “What’s Going on in Iowa?” Sarah, a former Republican who has spent the last decade taking on Trump and analyzing the shifting political landscape, will offer an insider’s look at how Republicans have weakened their brand in Iowa and across the Midwest. She will be joined in conversation by Grace Van Cleave, with the discussion moderated by Drake University Professor of Political Communication and State Rep. Jennifer Konfrst.


Your contribution will directly support Grace’s campaign for Iowa Senate District 17 and help us reach voters, knock doors, build grassroots support, and win in 2026.


Chip in today and be part of the work to build a stronger future for Iowa!
