From a constituent in Des Moines, IAAntifa or Santa Claus? Demand Facts from Our Leaders
Facts matter—especially when government officials define threats and shape national security policy. During testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee, FBI National Security Operations Director Michael Glasheen failed to clearly state whether “Antifa” exists as an organization. This is
From a constituent in Des Moines, IADoes Michael Glasheen Believe in Santa Claus—or Just “Antifa”?
Facts matter—especially in national security. During testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee, FBI National Security Operations Director Michael Glasheen failed to give a clear answer about whether “Antifa” exists as an organization. This is not a complex or unsettled question. Antifa
From a constituent in Des Moines, IAElected Officials Must Defend Democracy from Unlawful Interference
Recent actions by former President Donald J. Trump—including attempts to pardon individuals charged under Arizona state law for submitting false electoral certificates—constitute a blatant abuse of power and a direct threat to the rule of law. These pardons exceed constitutional authority, which app
From a constituent in West Des Moines, IAPlease support the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act. Too many of America’s largest corporations pay CEOs 300 to 600 times what their median workers make. In many corporations far too many employees are pushed into poverty wages, unpredictable schedules, and jobs that barely cover basic living expenses. T
From a constituent in Council Bluffs, IADemand Congressional Investigation Into DOJ Misconduct and Court Violations

From a verified voter in Ames, IADoes this make America look good? Strong? Reasonable?
Do you agree with the things Donald Trump writes about on his truth social? Do you think this makes our Great country look like it's being led by a sane man with full cognitive abilities? Or... does it look like we've got a weak little kid who can't take an insult without throwing a tantrum? Woul
From a verified voter in Ames, IAI am writing to express my deep concern regarding Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s continued service in a leadership role within the Department of Health and Human Services and to ask you to support his impeachment.

From a verified voter in Ames, IAStop being friendly with Putin and dictators!
I trust you and your track record. I believe that you believe Putin is a murderous dictator. So why are Republicans aligning themselves with Putin, and trashing international relations with our European allies? The United Kingdom doesn't even trust us enough to share intelligence anymore? Why is
From a constituent in Des Moines, IARestore and Protect Funding for Iowa’s Water Quality Monitoring
I am writing as a concerned Iowan to urge you to immediately protect and restore funding for Iowa’s water-quality monitoring systems. Without action, Iowa is on track to lose its independent, real-time water monitoring network—leaving communities, utilities, and policymakers without the data needed
From a verified voter in Ames, IAReporting elder abuse
I'm writing to report a case of elder abuse. Steven Miller and the brotech oligarchs are clearly abusing an old man, and you don't seem to care. I'm confused by your lackadaisical concern of the man in charge. His swelling is not normal. Massive bruising where an IV goes is not normal. Not one per
From a verified voter in Ames, IAI am writing to ask a very straightforward question: Do you understand how tariffs actually work? Tariffs are taxes—paid by American consumers and American businesses. They are not paid by foreign governments. They are not paid by foreign companies.

From a constituent in Des Moines, IADefend Independent Agencies and Congress’s Constitutional Authority
I am writing to urge you to oppose—by every lawful means—any effort to dismantle the independence of federal regulatory agencies by allowing the President to remove independent watchdogs at will. The Supreme Court’s handling of Trump v. Slaughter signals a willingness to abandon nearly a century of

I am writing to you as your constituent and as someone who cares deeply about the independence and credibility of Iowa’s public universities. I support open inquiry and the free exchange of ideas in higher education. At the same time, I am concerned about the creation and early direction of the Uni
From a constituent in Des Moines, IAAccountability Demands an Answer — Why Are You Protecting Trump?
I am writing as your constituent to ask a simple but serious question: what excuse do you have for not taking action to impeach Donald Trump? The record of corruption, abuse of power, and disregard for democratic norms is extensive and well documented. Continued inaction is no longer neutral — it i
From a constituent in Des Moines, IAJustice Delayed Is Justice Denied: Release the Epstein Files

From a constituent in Des Moines, IAEnd Citizens United
I am writing to urge you to support every legislative and constitutional effort to overturn Citizens United v. FEC.

From a constituent in Des Moines, IARestore Federal Nursing-Home Staffing Standards Now
I’m writing to urge you to take immediate action to reverse the recent HHS/CMS repeal of federal minimum staffing requirements in nursing homes and long-term care facilities. This rollback puts older adults and people with disabilities at serious, predictable risk. The previous staffing standards—r
From a verified voter in Ames, IARFK needs to go
Nuzzi reported that RFK still uses drugs and said he's hiding it. Is that enough for you to care about saving the integrity of the CDC? Will you bother to investigate?
From a verified voter in Ames, IAMidway Blitz was cruel and unnecessary
Illinois is our neighboring state. We see what's happening in Chicago. It's now been reported that only 3% of those detained in Midway Blitz were criminals. Was that worth rubber bulleting a clergy member in the head? Putting children on the street in night wearing nothing but their underwear to r
From a verified voter in Ames, IAThe shooting of national guard members was preventable
I read that the program used to help the Afghans assimilate and support them when relocated to the United States was run under USAID, and ended because of Republican cuts. The shooter who shot the poor national guard members (who should never have been there) had MANY warning signs of suffering fro
From a verified voter in Ames, IAI am writing to express my deep concern—and frankly, confusion—regarding your support for the impeachment of President Joe Biden on the grounds that his adult son received income from a private Ukrainian company. You have repeatedly framed this as a matter of ethics, public trust, and improper influ
From a verified voter in Ames, IAProve you care about children and so something about ICE
Where is this child??? No matter how his father acted, it is abhorrent to not contact his family and left them know where he is. This is a pattern with ICE kidnapping people and refusing to tell family and friends where they are and not allowing them to contact anyone. This is inhumane. How can y
From a verified voter in Ames, IAICE shot a pastor!

I demand an explanation for Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy transfer to a lower security prison and being given a puppy. What is the justification for this?
From a verified voter in Ames, IACan you stay awake?
Do you fall asleep during official meetings? If so, that concerns me as a voter. But if even you can stay awake, it's clear Trump is not being honest about his health and is unfit. A man 13 years younger than you should be in better shape than him, right? Especially if he's the president. Be honest
From a verified voter in Ames, IAICE is out of control
I’m writing as a parent in Iowa who believes immigration enforcement must follow the Constitution — not terrorize children and destroy families. Over 70% of people detained by ICE have no criminal record; 93% have never been convicted of a violent crime. Yet enforcement now regularly punishes innoc
