IA-SD25: National Democrats jump into special election

NOTE: THIS IS FROM A FUNDRAISING LETTER, SO TAKE IT AS YOU WILL. BUT LAST TIME THEY JUMPED INTO A DEEP RED DISTRICT, THE DEMOCRAT WON.

Tuesday's special election for the Iowa Senate is coming down to the wire.

When Republicans scheduled this election less than three weeks ago, they clearly hoped that the quick timeline would prevent Democrats from running a real campaign in this dark-red district.

But Democrat Tracy Freese and her team rose to the challenge – organizing faster than Republicans thought possible to challenge the GOP in a seat they long thought was safe.

Now, thanks to local Democrats' hard work and the support they've received across the nation, Tracy could actually WIN this race and shock the GOP to their core – but she only has a few days left to close the gap!

The fact is, with barely three weeks to campaign in a district Trump carried by 26 points, Democrats wouldn't ordinarily have a chance – but we do!

Our nominee, Tracy Freese, owns a small business that helps local, family farmers pass on their farms to the next generation. The residents of her district have her back – because she's always had theirs.

And what an amazing message it would send to replace the Senate GOP Leader – who spent almost $2 million in taxpayer dollars to settle sexual harassment claims under his watch – with a strong Democrat like Tracy. We can do it, but ONLY if Democrats finish races like this as strong as possible in the final few days.
