I think it's time for a new leader of the Senate Democrats.
My primary opponent supports Chuck Schumer, and as a result, he's receiving millions of dollars in Super PAC funding.
That's the choice in this election: change vs the status quo.

The losing candidate for Iowa Senate met his wife HOW
![Personal life
In 2019, Wahls announced his engagement to journalist Chloe Angyal.[44] Angyal wrote an article in 2011 for the blog Feministing entitled "Marry Me, Zach Wahls" [45] which led to the two meeting and later starting a relationship. The couple married in 2021[citation needed] and their son was born in 2024.[46]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bpc7nm4rtcchhdq5sfxyrujl/bafkreiczzeotazni6piu5konyqcjuzd4thld6xv7luavz6eyuf74z6ug4a)

just announced he's suspending his #IASen campaign.
His campaign was nearly out of money at the end of 2025 after a fast start when he was the only Dem in the field when Joni Ernst said "we all are going to die."

Wahls: During the nomination fight with Hegseth, she expressed some reservations that turned out to be very well-founded—but Joni didn’t do the right thing.
She said back in 2014 that she’d go to Washington and “make ’em squeal.” I’d say Joni Ernst is all squeal, no bacon.

Wahls: The war in Iran is going to be devastating for farm states like Iowa. You mentioned diesel — that is what the vast majority of farm machines, like tractors or combines, run on. And the cost of oil not only has a huge impact on fuel costs, it also has a huge impact on other farm inputs
