To Everyone Who
​Walked This Road With Me

Well... we did it.

Not in the way we hoped, of course, but we did something that a lot of people said couldn't be done. Thousands of conversations. Thousands of miles on the road. Hundreds upon hundreds of signatures. Town halls, county meetings, late nights, early mornings, and countless people willing to take a chance on an ordinary working-class guy.

And for that, I owe you my sincere thanks.

Some of you donated five dollars. Some of you donated much more. Some of you volunteered your time, gathered signatures, put up with the weather, or simply stopped me to say, "Keep going." Every single one of those moments mattered.

This campaign was never backed by billionaires, corporate PACs, or political machines. It was powered by people who believed they deserved to be heard. That belief carried me through every setback and every obstacle we encountered along the way.

I wish I could have done more. I wish I could have knocked on more doors, shaken more hands, and earned more trust. That's on me. But I don't regret trying for a second.

The election is over, but the problems facing working families, farmers, small businesses, and our rural communities didn't disappear when the votes were counted. Neither should our willingness to speak up.

So thank you for believing in this campaign. Thank you for believing in me. Most importantly, thank you for believing that ordinary people can still stand up and demand better.

Wherever life takes me next, that belief isn't changing.

This campaign isn’t about a career. It’s about a moment.

Why I'm Running
I'm Xavier Carrigan, running for US House in Iowa's 3rd District. I'm a Educator, not a politician. And I think that matters.
 
We need to stop treating representation like a career and start treating it like what it is: planting a garden. You grow strong. You produce. You leave seeds for the next generation.
 
But at some point, you make room for new growth.

I'm not here to build a political career. I'm here to serve my season and plant seeds for real change. #NoHalfMeasures #LetsDoThis.

What
​We’re Building Together

For too long, decisions have been made without us. This campaign is about taking that power back. Our community, strong, resilient, and fiercely independent, deserves better. We stand for a future where every Iowan, and every American is protected and empowered.
​We organize around a few core fights:
  • Social Safety & Security: We will protect Medicare, Social Security, and every vital social safety net that keeps our communities safe.
  • Equality & Justice: Gay and Trans rights are human rights. We fight for due process and equality for everyone, regardless of who you love or how you identify.
  • Economic Empowerment: We’re fighting billionaires and oligarchs who have bought our government. It’s time to get money out of politics and reclaim power for the people.
  • Investing in Our Future: Universal healthcare, free college and trade schools, and the end of crushing student and medical debt aren’t just policies, they’re necessities.
  • Workers’ Rights: By championing the PRO Act, raising the minimum wage, and supporting 12-week paid family and sick leave, we’ll ensure that every hardworking Iowan earns what they deserve.
  • A Healthy Environment: Climate change is real, and so is our commitment to combating it. We will fight for a sustainable future that protects our land and our livelihoods.
This campaign is about unity and progress, transcending party lines. It’s about fighting for what’s right and ensuring that government works for everyone, not just the wealthy few. Join us in building a fairer, more inclusive Iowa for all. Together, we’ll turn hope into action and secure a brighter future for our communities
This is how we stay independent

No Billionaires.
No Corporate PACs.
​No Outside Control.

​The Xavier Carrigan for Iowa campaign will only accept donations from individual citizens, making us beholden to our constituency. Corporate America already has enough representation on Capitol Hill, and Xavier believes the only way to bring the voice of Iowa to the national stage is by being beholden only to his constituency. Every dollar counts in this grassroots effort! Please consider donating, or volunteering, today!
This campaign answers
to the people. Period.
This Is How We Do It Differently

No Scripts...
No Filters...
This is the Movement...
in Real Time.
