This is terrific, Dan. Nice integration of stories and good mix of issues they represent.

What do people think of the below? You know why I’m so determined? Because of you. Because of the people I’ve met all across Iowa and our country. I’m fighting for the teachers who lost their jobs because Governor Branstad vetoed funding for schools. For the child care workers and home health aides I’ve met who work around the clock taking care of other people’s families – they shouldn’t need food stamps to take care of their own. For the children in Flint drinking poisoned water because their government doesn’t think their lives matter. I’m fighting for Larry, the worried husband I met in Waterloo last month. His wife Brenda spends hundreds of dollars each month on medicine for arthritis and osteoporosis. When they see hedge fund tycoons buying drug companies and raising prices by 4000 percent overnight, they just want to scream. I’m fighting for Brandi, a young woman in Des Moines who was laid off six years ago in the middle of the recession. She went back to school, worked hard, got her degree. Now she’s a supervisor in a restaurant, but still only makes $9.50 an hour. That’s just not enough, not with kids in the house and bills to pay. She desperately needs a raise. You shouldn’t have to scream to be heard. You don’t need more promises, you need more results. And we don’t have time for ideas that sound good on paper but will never make a difference in your life. We need to roll up our sleeves and actually get Brandi that raise. Stand up to the drug companies so Larry and Brenda aren’t all alone. Make the economy work for the struggling, the striving, and the successful. Here’s how we do it: We need more *fairness* in this country, so all the wealth and opportunities don’t just go to those at the top. But we can’t stop there. We also need more *growth* in our economy, so you can find that new job, get that raise, start a small business – so you can get ahead and stay ahead. America grows when *your* paycheck grows. Not when multimillionaires get another tax cut. I know what it takes to make real change in the real lives of real people -- because I’ve been doing it my whole life. And I’m just getting warmed up. Iowa, I’m listening you. I’m fighting for you. And I’m going to deliver. 395 words <2016-01-18 Fighting for You Econ riff.docx>
