About Ronald Holmes

I’m a fundraising professional that has worked on a variety of campaigns from the state legislature to the U.S. Senate focused on electing good solid Democrats who will fight for the working class. As someone who has never worked or lived in DC, I take great pride in that fact. Coming from a family with a working class background, I prioritize working for candidates that will make the lives of families like mine better and not worse.I’m not afraid to stand up for what’s right, even if it’s uncomfortable. We are at an inflection point in this country and we need leaders who are going to lead us towards the future we deserve, not the one we are destined for if things stay the same.

Experience

1. National Finance Director

   Wahls For Iowa

   Dec 2025 — Present · Iowa City, IA, US

   Recruited to lead the fundraising efforts of Iowa State Senator Zach Wahls, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Iowa, in a competitive Democratic primary against Nathan Sage and DSCC picked candidate Iowa State Representative Josh Turek.Why Iowa: As of 12/22/25, Iowa and Ohio are the only two states that Donald Trump won in 2024 that his approval rating is now net negative, going from +13 in Nov 2024 to -1 in Dec 2025 in Iowa alone. Iowa will be critical for early investment and ground game as it is the likeliest 51st Senate seat we have on the 2026 map if Democrats are able to hold our vulnerable seats (New Hampshire, Michigan, and Georgia), flip our needed seats (North Carolina, Maine, and Ohio), and get just 1 of the reach seats (Iowa, Texas, or Alaska).To learn more, please visit
