WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Sarah Trone Garriott for Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District.
“As a pastor, state senator, and mom, Sarah has shown she is a pragmatic and deeply empathetic leader. In the Iowa Senate, she has been a fierce advocate for working families, championing accessible and affordable health care and fighting for paid family leave and quality child care to help make life more affordable. Throughout her career, Sarah has stood alongside families during their toughest moments, giving her a clear understanding of what Iowans are facing. She knows how to bring people together to get things done and has proven she can win tough races. We are confident she will be a powerful voice for Iowa families in Congress and are proud to support her candidacy,” said Congresswoman Lois Frankel, Chair of Elect Democratic Women.
“I’m grateful to Elect Democratic Women for their support,” said Sarah Trone Garriott. “My path to public service has been shaped by real life experience, working multiple jobs to get through school, raising a family, and balancing the everyday challenges so many Iowans face. As a working mom with kids in public schools, I know how hard it can be to find affordable child care and how important strong, well-funded schools are to our communities. From my work as a minister and nonprofit leader to serving in the Iowa Senate, I’ve always believed leadership means showing up, listening, and fighting for people who are too often left out of the conversation. With EDW’s support, I’m ready to bring that perspective to Congress and be a strong voice for Iowa families.”
