  4. Grateful for leaders like and Iowa progressives who never stop fighting—win or lose, no matter the odds, because our values are worth fighting for. One of the most important things we do is put ourselves on the line to make our communities better.

  5. Devastated to hear that Naval Chief Petty Officer Shannon Kent, from Pine Plains, NY, was one of the Americans lost in the Syrian terror attack this week. My heart is with her loved ones, and with the families of all the brave Americans who sacrifice everything for our country.
