WATCH: Iowa Sen. Sarah Trone Garriott announces Congressional candidacy


This week, Sen. Sarah Trone Garriott of West Des Moines announced her candidacy in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, a key battleground in the upcoming 2026 midterms.

According to a statement released by her campaign, Trone Garriott raised over $230,000 within 24 hours of the announcement, most of which was directly from Iowans.

“This remarkable show of grassroots enthusiasm is a clear sign that Iowa Democrats are energized and ready for a candidate who knows how to win tough elections,” she said.
