I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream.
Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

James Talarico: If you go back and read the New Testament — even if you're not a Christian — go back and see what Jesus spends most of his time doing.
It's not preaching, it's not teaching. It's healing.
That is what we are called to do.

We just dropped our newest ad — and this one’s special.
It features my PawPaw — a Baptist preacher who taught me to follow the two great commandments: love God & love neighbor.
Those teachings led me to public service and they’re why I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

My opponent is Big Mad at Canada today because of wildfire smoke. The Canadians are our neighbors, not our enemies. We have a common problem. It’s not Canada; it’s climate change. It’s time to stop the bluster and finger-pointing and work together to solve it.

Go away, man. Now. Drop out. The deadline is almost here.
Graham Platner minutes ago posted a video calling these allegations of sexual assault him "categorically false." He goes on to say: "we're taking the time to reflect on the best path forward" but also: "you never turned your back on me, and I will not turn my back on you now."
Politico reports this afternoon that a woman who dated Graham Platner says that he sexually assaulted her: www.politico.com/news/2026/07...
