 About our campaign

Kimberly Graham is the only progressive candidate in the Iowa U.S. Senate Race, and she's been endorsed by powerhouses like Brand New Congress, the Sunrise Movement, Flip the Senate, and progressive and Democratic leaders across the state of Iowa.

The team will continue to reflect this ideal as we grow.
