Dear Friend,
As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, we’re reminded that our nation’s greatest chapters have always been written by people who believed tomorrow could be better than today. While some paint a bleak picture of America and our future, I still believe our best days are ahead of us because I believe in the American people and what we can achieve when we work together.
The freedoms and opportunities we enjoy today were secured by generations of Americans who worked hard, served their communities, defended our nation, and made extraordinary sacrifices to preserve the American Dream. We owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to the brave men and women who gave their lives so future generations could live in freedom.
At an incredibly divisive time, I want to remind everyone that we have far more that unites us as Americans than divides us as Republicans or Democrats. We don't have to agree on everything to make progress, but we do have to be willing to listen, solve problems, and work together for the greater good. That's the approach I've always tried to take in Congress — and it's the approach that has delivered real results for Iowa.
That bipartisan approach helped me get legislation signed into law to expand access to mental health care for our veterans. It's helped bring millions of dollars back to Iowa for roads, bridges, water infrastructure, child care, and other local priorities. It's also why I've worked with members of both parties, even those I disagree with on many issues, when it means delivering better results for the people we represent.
I'm humbled every day by the opportunity to represent Iowa families, and as we celebrate 250 years of the greatest nation on Earth, I'm reminded that each generation has a responsibility to leave America stronger than we found it. That's what I'm fighting for every day, and I'm more optimistic than ever that our best days are still ahead.
