Welcome!
Welcome to the Krause For Iowa's Future site. Running for the U.S.
Senate is not a destination, it is a journey. I am
honored that many of you have seen fit to support me
enthusiastically. I am likewise grateful that life has
placed me in such a situation to even be considered for
such a high office. What an honor it is.
We will run together - for we are ALL a team together.
We will run hard - because we must win.
We will run fairly - because we value the democratic principles on which this country was founded. We value fairness, honor, and government by the people.
We will run on defining issues - because we believe that there are real differences between Democratic and Republican philosophies. Without the conflict of ideas, we fail in our form of government.
We run with compassion - because we feel the needs of the people and the needs of our great country.
I am running for the United States Senate to give Iowans an opportunity for a new and different future. I am a credible candidate with a strong record of accomplishment both inside and outside of government.
So what do I need from you to win? I need your support. I need you to network and tell your friends about me through email, through
Facebook, Twitter and other electronic tools. And, I need your financial support.
The essence of our democracy is that, collectively, through our common experiences, we find a new ground for a new day. That is what today, and this campaign, is about.
Thank you for joining me in a joyful and spirited campaign.
- Bob
