FOR IOWA

Meet Sarah Trone Garriot

Sarah Trone Garriott has always been called to serve her community, as a minister, a mom, a nonprofit leader, and a State Senator.

Early on, her calling to serve led Sarah to join AmeriCorps, dedicating a year as a VISTA volunteer supporting victims of domestic violence. Her journey continued at Harvard Divinity School, where she deepened her understanding of faith while working at a women’s shelter and a youth-focused nonprofit.

Sarah’s calling to service next led her to hospital chaplaincy, where she supported individuals and families navigating their most challenging moments. This work inspired her to enter ministry, becoming an ordained Lutheran pastor. She first served a congregation in rural Virginia before moving to Iowa in 2013 to lead Faith Lutheran Church in Clive. Sarah took her ministry out into the world as the Coordinator of Interfaith Engagement for the Des Moines Area Religious Council Food Pantry Network. As a nonprofit leader, she champions initiatives addressing food insecurity and fosters collaboration across diverse religious communities.

In 2020, frustrated that her elected leaders weren’t listening to the concerns of her community, Sarah ran for public office. That year, she successfully flipped a Republican-held seat in the Iowa State Senate. In 2022, as a result of redistricting, Sarah moved her family to take on then-Senate President Jake Chapman. She won that seat by 3 points while Gov. Reynolds carried it by 7 points. In 2024, she defended her district even though President Trump won it. She is the only Democrat in Iowa to flip multiple districts while representing a district won by Donald Trump.

Throughout her service in the State Senate, Sarah has defined herself as an advocate for working families: championing accessible and affordable healthcare, mental health programs, support for public schools, paid family leave, quality childcare, and reproductive rights. Recognized for her pragmatic leadership, Sarah has continuously demonstrated her ability to unite Iowans across party lines. Her commitment extends beyond policy to genuine community engagement, constantly showing up to listen, support, and act on behalf of her constituents.

Sarah knows firsthand how difficult it is to make ends meet and provide for a family. She put herself through college working at Walmart, waiting tables, cleaning hotel rooms, and working odd jobs. As a working mom, Sarah understands the challenge of finding quality, affordable childcare. With both of her sons attending West Des Moines Community Schools, she knows the importance of excellent public education.

Sarah’s call to service continues: She is running for Congress to ensure Iowans have a voice in Washington. Her journey from service worker to minister, nonprofit leader, and state legislator is a testament to her unwavering commitment to public service and the people of Iowa.
