You asked how many doors we’ve knocked?

Great to be in Grinnell and Mount Vernon!

If you're happy with the status quo, you probably shouldn't vote for me. I've never been afraid to challenge conventional wisdom and I don't back down until we've fixed what is broken.

Today we honor the brave men and women who have died in uniform serving our country. I was grateful to participate in a moving program this morning at the Waterloo Veterans Memorial Hall to remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

I refuse to accept that we have enough money to pay for massive tax cuts to billionaires but can't afford quality healthcare for every Iowan, or that we can pay for the war in Iran but can't afford to expand access to childcare for working families. We need leaders who make better choices.

I couldn't be more honored to have Stacey's endorsement. I've always been inspired by his model of public service.

Our rural healthcare system is on the brink. We need to restore support for rural hospitals and do more to attract doctors and nurses to work in rural Iowa.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Iowans are sick of typical politicians in both parties who do everything they can to protect the status quo. We need fresh voices who can actually get things done.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Happy Earth Day! I stopped by the Matthew 25 urban farm to talk about why it's so important to take care of our environment.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

Our first TV ad is on the air today! My message is simple: When things are broken, we fix them. That's what I've done my whole life and it's what I'll do as your representative in Congress.

Iowa Falls is a beautiful and historic river town! I enjoyed spending some time with the Hardin County Democrats to talk about education, the farm economy and other issues over dinner at The River Tap.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

The Octopus in Cedar Falls is a great community asset, providing a space for community gathering focused on the arts. I loved having a chance to speak there last week. I also had a strategy session with our UNI campaign fellows about our plan to get out the vote.

I couldn't agree more with Dan. It's ridiculous. cbs2iowa.com/news/local/c...

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

The world would be a better place if our leaders spent time with the extraordinary women at Mount Carmel and the Sisters of the Presentation in Dubuque. Their commitment to justice and the common good is deeply inspiring. Thanks to Sister Corrine for showing me around!

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Our political system is broken. Politicians from both parties spend too much time sipping cocktails at receptions with lobbyists in Des Moines and DC instead of fighting for working people. It's not acceptable and it needs to change.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

We are so excited to announce the opening of our Linn County Field Office! The enthusiasm of the 75+ people that turned out to celebrate shows the strong momentum and deep grassroots energy behind our campaign.

If you need recommendations for fine dining in DC, ask Ashley Hinson. Looks like she found the best oyster bar in town!

What is urgent to this administration is so far removed from what is urgent to people in northeast Iowa.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

Wartburg has some awesome students! I enjoyed answering talking to them and answering questions about healthcare and economic growth at a forum hosted by the Wartburg Student Senate.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

Today I joined thousands of people at No Kings rallies in Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, and Charles City. We stood together for community, patriotism, and justice and showed how big the movement is to build a better and brighter future for our country.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

Incredible energy at Big Grove tonight. Onto the elite eight!

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

I met some amazing people at PIVO Brewery in Calmar on Sunday. Shoutout to Mayor Paul Wermers of Spillville for some of the best roasted pork in northeast Iowa!

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Team Clint showed up strong at Democratic County Conventions across the district on Saturday! I had the opportunity to speak with delegates in Linn, Benton, and Black Hawk counties, and I'm grateful to our volunteers who represented our campaign at other sites.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

This is not an acceptable allocation of resources.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

We’re campaigning everywhere because that’s how we win in northeast Iowa.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

I was proud to join @machinistsunion.bsky.social and labor leaders from across Iowa to stand in support of workers facing layoffs at the Whirlpool facility in Amana. These layoffs are a punch to the gut for hardworking Iowa families. They deserve better.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

America lost six heroic service members this weekend, including Sergeant Declan Coady of the U.S. Army Reserve. I’m deeply moved by his example of service, and I’m praying for his family who are facing unimaginable grief and pain. May we do all we can to make the world a more peaceful place.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

With all the news about tariffs, I talked to my friend Al who runs a flower shop about what tariffs have meant for him and his customers. We need to tell the truth about the impact that chaotic, across-the-board tariffs are having on Iowans.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Cancer touches all of us. I took part in a community conversation about cancer in Grinnell last week. When asked for a raise of hands from anyone who has had a loved one impacted by cancer, this is what the room looked like.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Grinnell is another jewel of Iowa District 2. It was a joy to visit with folks and talk about what makes Grinnell so special and how we can build a better future for Iowa. Thanks so much to Mayor Sam Cox for hosting me at her coffee shop Saints Rest!

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Joe Mitchell - the Trump-endorsed multimillionaire running for this seat - spent more at Mar-a-Lago in December than most people in Iowa spend on groceries in three months. Talk about out of touch!

010

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

I'm grateful to have the support of these incredible leaders. Together we can turn the page and build a brighter future for our state.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

This is the first mural we did at Matthew 25. We wanted to show the importance of empowering kids to be bridge builders. In Congress, I will focus on helping all kids have bridges that help carry them to success.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Iowa's largest frying pan is right here in Brandon, Iowa! It's a great example of the innovation and community spirit at the heart of small towns across northeast Iowa.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

My faith has always guided how I’ve served my community. This campaign is rooted in the same call I’ve followed my whole life to care for my neighbor, stand up for what is right and fight to give everyone the opportunity to reach their God-given potential. www.thebulwark.com/p/for-succes...

My church held a training to teach people how to observe ICE safely and respond in a legal way. Now some are calling for its nonprofit status to be stripped. This is ridiculous - our democracy thrives when people are able to hold our government accountable and exercise their free speech.

Iowa's healthcare system continues to be hallowed out before our eyes. How many more healthcare workers need to lose their jobs, clinics need to close, and Iowans need to lose coverage before our elected leaders stop this crisis?

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

This week the President came to Iowa and said inflation has been defeated. I set out in Dubuque to find folks that agree, and it was hard.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

I enjoyed answering questions a few days ago at the Second District Congressional Candidate Forum at the Waterloo Public Library! Thanks to Indivisible Iowa Black Hawk County for organizing.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Thanks to the folks at the Clear Lake /Ventura Food Pantry for showing me the great work happening there. They have seen an uptick in food insecurity and are working hard to meet the needs of their neighbors.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

I stopped in at Sue's Corner Post Cafe in Northwood to visit with folks and try Sue's homemade Rhubarb Crisp. It was fabulous!

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

I lived on the block where Renee Good was shot. Her death is horrific. We need a full investigation, accountability, and an overhaul of ICE - not a threat to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

I recently visited my friend Dan, who has about 200 cattle on his farm in Hardin County. We talked about the economic challenges facing farmers and the outlook for the American beef market - and took a few moments to take in the beauty of Iowa's winter landscape!

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

I'm proud to be the first candidate in either party to announce that I've made stops to visit with people in all 22 counties in Iowa's 2nd District since launching my campaign! Winning this district will take connecting in every community no matter how big or small.

010

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

The division in our politics, and the acts of violence we saw this weekend across the world, are heart-wrenching and overwhelming. I lit a candle as an act of hope and optimism that it doesn't have to be this way.

It was great to be in Decorah to do a little holiday shopping and talk to voters about my plans to build a better future for Iowa. Decorah is one of those special jewels, and Water Street is full of creativity! decorahnews.com/news/16206/d...

We need to stop the corrupting influence of money in our elections and the shameless self-enrichment by career politicians. That's why I refuse to take corporate PAC funding, and why I've joined End Citizens United's campaign to ban Congressional stock trading & crack down on dark money in politics.

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

If you're like me and had your Small Business Saturday plans thwarted by the snowstorm, be sure to still get out and shop local this holiday season. Yesterday I stopped at Simply Iowa Market & Candle Company in Grundy Center. Thanks to Carrie for setting me up with one of her amazing candles!

Clint Twedt-Ball @clintforiowa.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

I took a shift yesterday distributing Thanksgiving meals at the Northeast Iowa Area Food Bank in Waterloo. They had given out over 2,600 dinners and counting as of 2:00 pm - truly a monumental effort! Thanks to all of the donors and volunteers who made this happen.
