Daily Kos - When I played professional baseball, I didn’t get to choose my teammates. It didn’t matter if my third baseman was from New Jersey, the Dominican Republic, Texas or wherever. In baseball, it wasn’t important that we were often a team of different religions, different ethnicities, or different political beliefs. We worked together for a unified common goal. That’s my mentality as a candidate for Iowa’s 4th Congressional District. And that’s why I stand with Tulsi Gabbard in calling for America to come together and to leave the rhetoric that divides us behind.

Daily Kos - I listened to many of their stories yesterday while joining them for a protest in Sioux City, Iowa, and the fear and uncertainty some of these young people are going through is heartbreaking. Just imagine for a minute being sent away from the only home you’ve ever known...

The bottom line is that they are here; we told them that we would protect them and that it is safe for them to come out of the shadows...

As a nation, we must fulfill our promise to these young people. I call on Congress to pass a bill that allows DACA enrollees to stay! Economically, and more importantly morally, it’s the right thing to do.

Ames Tribune - Scholten, was joined Friday night by several speakers including Democrats 25th Senate District candidate Tracy Freese, Third Congressional District candidate Austin Frerick, gubernatorial candidate John Norris, Ames Mayoral candidate Victoria Szopinski, and activists Jack Schuler and Bonnie Brown, the latter of whom was part of the counter-protests in Charlottesville, Va. earlier this month... What each of the speakers seemed to share, was their passion for someone who they believe can take the district from King. And Scholten appeared to share that same passion.

“Youthful stubbornness, an athlete’s energy, and a passion for helping others is a dangerous combination,” Scholten said. “Tell me this race is unwinnable; tell me Steve King is unbeatable, and that only adds fuel to my fire.”
