    Closing out an unforgettable Saturday across the Des Moines area with our sixth neighborhood house party. Grateful for the opportunity to spend today with so many amazing people, to answer questions, hear ideas, learn from one another, and commit to doing all of this together.

    Des Moines for the 5th neighborhood party of the day. Talking about strengthening unions, reestablishing our role as a leader abroad, addressing poverty, getting the backs of our educators, & ending private prisons, mandatory minimums, and the federal prohibition on marijuana.

    Lovely to finally see in person after following his Senate campaign online, just a block from home in a neighbor’s yard. Nothing better on a sunny day to gather with community to talk the future of the country & vet a presidential candidate. I love Iowa 💕

    Enjoyed being outside on a beautiful day in Des Moines for our fourth neighborhood party. A conversation on how we're going to protect our communities from gun violence, achieve equal pay, pass paid family leave, and make higher education more affordable and accessible.
