Cami Koons report: 
Trone Garriott, who joined Iowa Democrats at a watch party in Des Moines, said that Iowans have “so much common ground” and she plans to “build on that common ground for a strong future.” 
“We are bringing change for everyone,” Trone Garriott said. “To restore healthcare, to lower costs, to stop these tariffs, to end this war. We did this to take on the corruption that is at the heart of the problem costing us so much, and make Washington accountable to the people, because we know that powerful things are possible when we show up on our common ground and we work really hard and we work together.” 
Trone Garriott, a pastor and state senator since 2020, thanked Nunn for his service to the country and to the state of Iowa.
