Scott Colom is leading by 2,498 votes. His lead will continue to grow.
We are not backing down. This election is not over. Our team is working across Mississippi to monitor the remaining ballots and protect the integrity of the process. We will see this through to the very end!

Last night was one of biggest repudiations of a president and his enablers in U.S. history. Congrats to all the winners, especially here in Iowa. It's nice to live again in a purple state where leaders have a real opportunity to work together to improve the lives of all Iowans.

Replying to @PeteButtigieg
I’m still shocked that a citizen from Kansas was able to run for Iowa governorship and it was much closer than it should’ve been. Regardless proven tonight that people are able to see above rhetoric and propaganda.

Donald Trump hates me because I fight. Republicans fear me because I win. I wear their scorn as a badge of honor.

In the state legislature, Joe Mitchell voted against capping the cost of insulin and then took a check from Pfizer. On Tuesday, we need to send people who will champion working people, not the ultra wealthy and big corporations.

Yesterday, I stood outside Joe's housing development to call out his corruption. He voted for tax credits that let his real estate companies pocket millions. He took another $1M in tax credits to build a development that he moved into a week before he launched his campaign.
The Clear Lake address of Joe Mitchell, the Republican candidate in Iowa’s 2nd district, was listed for rent on Zillow as recently as this month. The campaign claims its just how Mitchell’s company advertises other properties on the app. iowastartingline.com/news/po…

I did not do the Jeffrey Epstein investigation alone. I had the support of @MiamiHerald —it’s then executive editor, Mindy Marques; and these two incredible journalists, investigations editor Casey Frank and visual journalist Emily Michot. Thank you to all the courageous victims who shared their stories with me, and to those on the Pulitzer Board who made this honor of a lifetime happen. #pulitzerprizes

Iowa has a $1.3 billion budget deficit. Meanwhile, hundreds of millions in tax dollars go to private school vouchers, including for families who can already afford it.

Don't count out any Democratic candidate for statewide office in Iowa if Rob Sand wins the governor's race by a good margin.

NEW: A federal judge on Wednesday rejected the Trump administration’s request for a temporary restraining order that would have forced California to set aside and not count ballots from 20,000 people the Department of Justice alleges may be noncitizens. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

“We deserve to know who our neighbors are.” — @ZachLahn Interesting words from a candidate whose own family farmland is held through Selah Group LLC and Selah Properties LLC. Lahn complains that Iowa doesn’t require “human-level disclosure” of who owns our farmland, yet his own property is held under LLC names rather than his personal name. So, Zach, if transparency in farmland ownership is so important to you, why are you using LLCs yourself? Is transparency only important when it’s someone else’s land?
.@ZachLahn: "Around a quarter of our land is owned by out-of-state investors... We don't require any human-level disclosure of who owns our land... When my Dad and I used to drive around gravel roads, he would call out the farms by the last names of the people who lived there... We deserve to know who our neighbors are.

Farmers paid $151,081,106 more for diesel for spring planting this year. And this is before diesel hit record highs this fall, just in time for harvest. The Iran war is devastating Iowa farmers. Zach Nunn voted 5x for this.
