Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, is facing her first Democratic challenger in the 2026 election as one Marine and Army veteran jumped into the race on Tuesday, vowing to fight "for a Democratic Party that people like me will want to be a part of."
Nathan Sage, currently the executive director of the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce, announced his candidacy through a campaign video introducing himself as a dad, mechanic, sports radio host and a child of a trailer park in Mason City, Iowa.
He said he’s fighting for a country "that’s ruled by the people who sustain it, not the billionaire class."
"I want to kick corporate Republican Joni Ernst’s a— next November," Sage said.
