Back to School Iowa

Beto O’Rourke at Iowa State University

Like much of this country’s history, today’s young people are leading the conversation on how to tackle the important issues such as confronting climate change, standing against hate, and demanding change on gun violence.

Now more than ever we need a leader that is going to inspire and empower young people to get involved on their campuses and in their communities — because that’s not only how we win on Election Day, but also how we move this country forward once our leaders are in office.

We believe that the best way to do that is by showing up and bringing everyone into the democratic process. That’s why we are organizing on college campuses and elevating young people’s voices across Iowa.

Meet some of our great volunteers and hear about why they support Beto O'Rourke:

Laura from St. Ambrose University

“I’m supporting Beto because I really like his message of “go everywhere, engage everyone”, and I think we need to bring everyone in. I am volunteering for him because I like meeting people at their door and engaging in a meaningful conversation with them. I am really excited to be on Ambrose’s campus and tell everyone about the caucus process and get them registered to vote and get them really excited about Beto, and hopefully find other #RedHeadsForBeto.”

Oscar, a Mexican American student at ISU, committed to caucus this week because Beto is a leader who “supports people like him”.

Gio from Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids

“I am knocking doors, I’m making calls for Beto O’Rourke because I believe he is the candidate that believes in the good of America. That he’s shown time and time again that he is a leader, and that he’s bringing that to the forefront — he’s been showing us what we can be and what we can strive to be, and that’s why I’m making calls and I’m working so hard for Beto O’Rourke because he is a candidate for us.”

Megan from Mount Mercy University

“I’m a volunteer in Cedar Rapids, and I volunteer for Beto because I believe that he’s passionate about engaging everyone and that is something I am very passionate about as well. I think it’s super important that everyone has their voices heard, and I truly believe Beto is listening.”
