Iowans lose $900 million per year to wage theft. Those workers deserve an AG who prioritizes fighting for them. Clearly, that candidate is Nate Willems – not Brenna Bird.

⚠️ Democrats in array: Schumer, Gillibrand, and Whitmer coalesce behind El-Sayed
DSCC Statement On Abdul El-Sayed's Victory In Michigan
Senate Primary
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand released the following statement on Abdul El-Sayed's primary victory in the Michigan Senate race:
"Abdul El-Sayed has run an energetic campaign that inspired thousands of Michiganders across the state, with a clear focus on lowering costs and standing up for working families.
"Democrats are united by a common purpose: putting a check on Donald Trump by defeating his Republican enablers and taking back the Senate. We look forward to working with Abdul and Democrats across Michigan to win this seat in November.
"Mike Rogers is a rubber stamp for Donald Trump, backing the same reckless agenda that has driven up costs for working families, imposed chaotic tariffs that have hurt Michigan's auto industry, and put special interests ahead of the people of Michigan. Michigan voters already rejected Rogers after he walked through Washington's revolving door to enrich himself. They'll reject him again in November and send Abdul El-Sayed to the United States Senate."Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer
X.com
Congratulations to Jocelyn Benson, Abdul El-Sayed, and every Democrat who won up and down the ballot in this primary. They've got my support as we fight like hell together to win in November.
Together, let's stop MAGA Republicans so we can get to work and deliver results for the people of Michigan.

“What about due process,” is such a tell with these guys. Their party goes about systemically denying due process rights to anyone they deem too powerless to tell them “no,” and then insist that no one can ever come to a conclusion about their own actions that hasn’t been adjudicated by a jury.
