For Immediate Release: August 23, 2024

The Iowa Unity Coalition is proud to announce the endorsement of Sarah Trone Garriott for re-election to Iowa Senate District 14 in the upcoming general election to be held on November 5, 2024. The Iowa Unity Coalition is dedicated to building political power within our diverse and underrepresented communities at every level of government. 

State Senator Sarah Trone Garriott is an ordained Lutheran Minister who has served as a hospital Chaplin and parish pastor. She is the Coordinator of Interfaith Engagement at the Des Moines Area Religious Council Food Pantry Network, bringing diverse religious communities together to respond to food insecurity.

Sarah was first elected to the Iowa State Senate in 2020 and was the only Democrat to flip a Republican-held State Senate seat in 2022, defeating the Republican State Senate President Jake Chapman.

In the State Senate, Senator Sarah Trone Garriott has focused on helping working families: good schools, clean water, quality accessible healthcare, economic opportunity and civil rights. As a parent of two sons, Sarah knows why it matters so much that our state invests in child care and public education.
