Hey Friday night drinking Twitter! It's just TEN DAYS before the election. Tonight I'm packing up to go to Iowa to follow J.D. Scholten's campaign for the grand finale. But before I go, I want to make one last plea for your boozy support where we can use it most!

Now please pour out a second drink (or third, or fourth, no one is judging on a Friday) for J.D. SCHOLTEN in Iowa's fourth district, known to many of you as Steve King's district, which voted for Trump by a margin of 61%-34% in 2016.pic.twitter.com/gUg1rJIjR1

Scholten closed that gap by 13% in his first run for this seat in 2018, winning 24,000 more votes than there are Democrats in the district. He came within 3 points of beating Steve King, previously considered untouchable, weakening him so badly that King lost his primary in 2020.

With early voting underway in both Iowa and Maine, these two need your drunken, angry help tonight, ten days out from the election. We need to lock down every rural vote we can get. So please very carefully type your credit card info, and give tonight!https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …
