From Scholten's latest email...

We have three important items to share with you today:
1) Moveon has teamed with Ben & Jerry’s to create new flavors of ice cream based on a few selected candidates across the country, and J.D. has been chosen as one of them! Vote for J.D. and name the new flavor [link:https://act.moveon.org/survey/benjerrycontest/|]

2) Steve King won’t do public events, doesn’t hold Town Halls, and refuses to debate or show up for the people of this district. In contrast, J.D. is currently doing his THIRD 39-county tour! He’s holding a Town Hall in every county in the district because voters deserve the opportunity to hear from those running to represent them.
________________________________________
3) Two days ago, we announced our goal of raising $100,000 over the last ten days of the month. After two days, we’re at $19,161! Help us finish the final quarter of this race strong with a contribution of whatever you can today! [link:https://secure.actblue.com/donate/jdgoal|]

Thank you.
Standing Tall for All,

The father of slain University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts lashed out Saturday at those who are using her tragic death to promote their own political agendas. To do so is “despicable” and “heartless,” Rob Tibbetts wrote, throwing Donald Trump Jr.’s own words back at him in an opinion piece in the Des Moines Register.

Tibbetts said the family was “grateful” to those who respected their pleas to not turn his daughter’s death into a political confrontation.

“Sadly, others have ignored our request,” he wrote. “They have instead chosen to callously distort and corrupt Mollie’s tragic death to advance a cause she vehemently opposed.”
