The Bench

Farmers, fire fighters, veterans, smokejumpers, and more. Public servants who are true to their communities and built to win. If you’re ready for a new generation of leadership, these are the candidates to support and names to know. This is The Bench.

Sam Forstag is running to represent communities like his. Too many working people don’t see their lives reflected in government. We can start to change that by electing @SamForstag.

James Talarico on listening to real Texans about border policy, not the groups in DC who say they represent them.

Josh Turek talks to a mother and caregiver about the challenges she’s faced finding care for her son. Josh understands these issues because he’s lived them. We need him in the U.S. Senate.

Elizabeth Warren is the latest big name to endorse Mallory McMorrow, joining 3 other U.S. Senators and leaders across Michigan. They're calling it Mallory McMentum 🤩

When Bob Brooks was 18 years old, he lost everything in a house fire. Since then, he's spent decades serving his community — as a firefighter, snowplow driver, union leader, and as a neighbor. We need more people like him in Congress.

This is why we need to send @Turek4Iowa to the Senate.

"We're not here to be a political stooge." Watch Matt Maasdam and a fellow veteran explain how Trump and Hegseth fundamentally misunderstand the role of the military👇

Mallory McMorrow knows Washington is fundamentally broken. If we want things to change, we need more leaders who are willing to stand up for working people. That's Mallory McMorrow.

Take it from the @NRCC (for the minute they had this up): "real Iowans deserve actual town halls." Has anyone told Zach Nunn: the only one in this race refusing to hold town halls? While Nunn hides, Sarah Trone Garriott continues to show up for Iowans across her community.

I approve this message because our families deserve better. Check out our first ad! If you’re pissed off too, let’s fight for better together!

Three quinceañeras this weekend! In a time when politics feels full of division and hate, these celebrations are a reminder of what bringing people together really looks like. That’s the South Texas I believe in. It’s an honor to be welcomed into these beautiful traditions.

➡️ So we can afford to spend some money on schools and healthcare.

Monica de la Cruz’s best idea yet? Getting hundreds of families to invite Bobby Pulido to their quinceañeras.

No myth: Zach Nunn’s Medicaid cuts closed the Ottumwa clinic. And unfortunately that’s just the beginning.

Watch: Republican and Independent voters talk with Sarah Trone Garriott in Iowa.

Ashley Hinson voted to gut health care for thousands of Iowans — and now people in Ottumwa can’t even get the care they need in their own hometown. Watch this Iowa voter explain to Josh Turek why she’s so worried and why she’s supporting him:

Our candidates are meeting people where they are and talking about what matters. Follow along as we hit the road👇

“It’s the economy, the economy, the economy.” Bobby Pulido knows what matters to South Texas voters — and he’s ready to flip TX-15.

Mallory McMorrow just gave a masterclass in how Democrats should be talking about the DHS shutdown:

We’re sending billions of dollars overseas for Trump’s war while our bills go up here at home. Matt Maasdam is pissed — and so are the American people.
