Bushaw for Congress

Lifelong Iowan. Labor Unionist. Independent. Unapologetic Enemy of the Elite Ruling Class. Running for Congress to take back Washington for the Workers.

[Bushaw for Congress @Dave_Bushaw]

I’m Dave Bushaw and I’m fighting for the people Washington sold out.

Workers like you and me built this country, but the political elites have made sure that we've never held more than 2% of the seats in Congress.

I am running to break through that system and we're bringing the whole damn Working Class with us.

"Dave Bushaw, First Independent Candidate in Modern Iowa History to Qualify for the Congressional Debate Stage"

That's the headline I want to see on TV and in newspapers all across northeast Iowa, but it's only possible if we all work together, folks.

Iowa's 2nd District is one of the most closely-watched races in the entire country. The debates will be an opportunity to get our message in front of hundreds of thousands of Iowans.

We've already made history once in this race by getting on the ballot -- let's keep the momentum going.

To qualify for the Iowa PBS debate this fall, our campaign needs to raise 250 more donations of $100.

Can I count on you to help get us there? If you can't do $100, any amount is going to get us closer to the finish line. If you can give more, that's going to get us there even quicker.

PITCH IN TODAY BEFORE THE JUNE 30th Q2 FILING DEADLINE

In the richest country on earth, more than 40% of Americans cannot pay a $500 unexpected bill.

Meanwhile, the top one-tenth of 1% own as much wealth as the bottom 92% COMBINED, and many of our congressional representatives are part of that small club at the top.

It's time to send one of us to Washington who knows the struggle firsthand. Join a moment you're meant to be part of at https://t.co/91OSMHq8WR

@dadWT And where do these corporations get their gold? Oh, that's right. Workers. They take it from the worker who produces the wealth.

[Bushaw for Congress @Dave_Bushaw]

Ever feel like you're stuck on a reef with no way off? That's how this corrupt two-party system feels to a lot of us.

Our Independent campaign for US Congress in Iowa's 2nd District is offering voters something different, something new and refreshingly honest.

@pollfinity Why am I not in this poll? Our Independent campaign also qualified for the ballot, the first 'No Party' candidate for northeast Iowan voters in modern history.

[Bushaw for Congress @Dave_Bushaw]

We don't do that 'round here, partner. https://t.co/tC5zkCfRMC

Our team had a blast prepping the float and LIVE band for the Sturgis Falls parade in Cedar Falls this morning!

Will we see you in the next one? Stay in the loop and join a moment you're meant to be part of at https://t.co/91OSMHq8WR

More photos and video of the band will drop shortly! 🎸🎤

Our 'No Party' campaign is kind of a misnomer -- it's definitely a party over here! 🎸🎤

Join us on Saturday, June 27th for the Sturgis Falls parade in Cedar Falls! Lineup at 9am, kickoff at 10am. RSVP here & we'll see you there: https://t.co/Xx1nfOaDD2

My opponents spent over $1.3 million combined during the ballot access period to qualify.

Our campaign spent less than $10,000 to get on the ballot.

It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to tell you who's going to be more fiscally responsible with your tax dollars in Congress.

Father's Day can be really hard for some people. My siblings and I lost our dad in 2020 when he was struck by tractor while riding his motorcycle. The first is a picture of us from my parent's wedding, and the second is our last photo we took together.

Tell your dad you love him today. Then tell him a second time to make sure he knows it.

Happy Father's Day, folks.

[Bushaw for Congress @Dave_Bushaw]

Hawkeye Fun Days will always have a special place in my heart. I remember it being the real first kickoff of summer as a kid. Great to see some old friends all grown up and still coming to town for the celebration!

Thank you to all the volunteers who came out to show your support! Next Saturday the 27th we'll be in the Sturgis Falls parade in Cedar Falls -- will I see you there?

Iowa has a long history of abolition; from Iowa's 3rd Governor, James W. Grimes, allowing 1,500 rifles to slip from Iowa's arsenal that armed the Bleeding Kansas conflict, to Rev. John Brown planning the Raid on Harpers Ferry in Springdale, Iowa.

Juneteenth celebrates the revolutionary courage and solidarity in the fight for all people to be free.
