I’m so grateful to be on the ballot for Iowa House District 40 representing , east , and southside !!
Here is the honest part: this race is critical and it’s going to be tough….I’m ready for it, especially knowing this community is beside me.
Republicans know HD-40 is one of the most flippable House seats in Iowa. They know we came within just 318 votes of winning in 2024 in a red wave election year. And they know we are building a stronger campaign this time around.
They are not going to give up this seat easily.
And very importantly, My race is bigger than one House seat.
If (i.e., when) Rob Sand is elected governor, flipping seats like HD-40 could help protect his ability to stop bad bills before they become law.
That matters because Iowans deserve leaders who are focused on real problems, not political games.
How well we perform in my House Race can help Democrats up and down the ballot including Rob Sand for governor, Sarah Trone Garriott in IA-3, Josh Turek for U.S. Senate, and statewide candidates across Iowa.
After the momentum we have built from strong fundraising, to great events, to the energy we are seeing at the doors. Rep. Gustoff is going to get help. Outside groups will pay attention. Republicans will spend money here.
That means we have to be ready now.
So far, we have outraised Rep. Gustoff by $19,492.06, and we have more than $19,000 more cash on hand than he does. That is strong progress, and I am proud of it and grateful for you all! But in a race this close, we cannot take anything for granted.
The reality is my opponent doesn’t have to work as hard because he will have hundreds of thousands of dollars funded into his race towards the end of his campaign from big corrupt corporate PACs and will continue to push out lie smear political commercials, etc. Same old same old.
Every dollar helps me knock more doors, reach more voters, send more mail, put up more signs, and make sure people across HD-40 know what is at stake.
I know money is tight. Trust me I’m in the same boat. But if you are able to donate even small amounts like five dollars, $10 or $25 today, it will help kickstart this race and make sure that I can compete against corrupt politics. I want to do this grassroots and I couldn’t do it without you.
DONATE TODAY TO HELP ME FLIP HD-40: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/heather-sievers-for-iowa-1 or you can reach out to me if you’d prefer to have an alternative way to donate.
At the doors, I am hearing from people who are worried about rising costs, public schools, retirement security, health care, reproductive freedom, and whether their elected officials are actually listening to them. Please help me get elected, so I can work on what this community is asking for. I appreciate every single one of you. I won’t let you down. 💪❤️
