Travis Terrell, a 39-year-old Democrat from Johnson County, Iowa, and a University of Iowa Health Care employee, is running for Congress. Raised in a working-class, union-proud family, he was motivated to run after seeing his elderly mother struggle with bills, aiming to be a voice for those left behind by a system favoring the wealthy. His platform advocates for Medicare for All, pro-worker reforms including union protection and good-paying jobs, protecting reproductive freedom and LGBTQ+ rights, and ending the influence of corporate money in politics. He also champions environmental protections for Iowa's water and farmland.
