State Senator Nate Boulton

It was my pleasure to give a few final statehouse and Capitol dome tours as my term of service in the Iowa Senate concludes this week. It has been an honor to work in this beautiful building the past eight years.

The recount is finished with the results confirmed. It's been the honor of a lifetime to serve in the Iowa Senate and I look forward to turning the page on to the next chapter of advocacy for working Iowans—including my continued fight in the courtroom as an attorney for Iowans who have been injured in the workplace and those wrongfully terminated. My sincere thanks to my supporters and family for standing with me in this campaign and in my work in the Iowa Senate these past eight years.

It was my honor to speak as part of the Veterans Day program hosted by Prairie Meadows and Polk County today. While this is a day to show our appreciation for all those who have served, we also must be sure that our actions reflect our gratitude long after today’s Veterans Day events have concluded.

We are pushing through right to the finish. Reminding Steelworkers at 5am and Teamsters at 8:30 during their shift changes to vote, knocking on doors to make sure voters had their polling place information and turning out the vote. We have until 8pm—and if you get in line by 8pm, you get to vote. Please call your friends and family members and urge them to help us sprint across the finish line and earn this victory!

As voters head to the polls, the Register published an overview of our race. While my opponent has consistently refused to provide responses for voters, my positions are here:

Voters in eastern Polk County will choose between state Sen. Nate Boulton, a Democrat, and Republican challenger Mike Pike in Iowa Senate District 20.

Happy Election Day! Polls are open from 7 am to 8 pm today, so go vote and make your voice heard!

I was glad to join Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity at their new project across from Delaware Elementary, where they are building new homes needed to support our growing workforce in Altoona and Des Moines. Working together to create affordable housing is a critical mission for our community.

Throwback Thursday: I had been in the Senate for barely a month when a bill was filed to gut public sector union rights in our state. I fought for our public employees at every step, standing up with them and for them in the rotunda, and all through the night on the senate floor. I’m proud of the work I’ve done to fight for the working Iowans who’ve been knocked down in the political process these past eight years—and we’ve got plenty of work left to do.

It was a fun morning as Gwyn was given a ride to school by some great Altoona police officers—and little Alys got to ride along, too! It was part of the Southeast Polk “Dollars for Scholars” silent auction fundraiser this fall.

It’s great to see different parts of the community come together to support a good cause and give some kids a memorable experience, too, as Gwyn’s kindergarten class enjoyed donuts with the officers as they began their day.

I had a great door-knocking partner join me in East Des Moines tonight. She even made her own handout!
