Celebrate Iowa’s Special Election Win!

In a stunning victory for democracy, Catelin Drey has won a special election in Iowa — flipping a Republican-held state Senate seat in a district that voted heavily for Trump in 2024. This grassroots win breaks the GOP’s supermajority in the Iowa Senate and gives Democrats crucial leverage to block extreme nominees and protect Iowa families.

Drey’s victory isn’t just about one seat — it’s part of a growing wave. Democrats have already flipped multiple seats in Iowa this year, proving that even in deep-red districts, voters are rejecting Trump’s MAGA agenda and rallying for fairness, opportunity, and democracy.

This win sends a clear message: when we organize and fight back, we win — even where Republicans thought they were untouchable.

Add your name to celebrate this powerful Iowa victory, stand with Democrats defending our democracy, and help build momentum to flip even more seats in 2026!
