Storm Lake native Ashley WolfTornabane is on a mission to shake up Iowa’s 4th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026 with her recently launched grassroots campaign that comes with a powerful message: It’s time for real change.
WolfTornabane, 35, a current stay-at-home mom and former Director of Christian Education for Lakeside Presbyterian Church in Storm Lake and Instructional Assistant for the Storm Lake Community School District, says her motivation stems from years of advocacy work and frustration with corporate influence in politics. She credits grassroots momentum for inspiring her run.
Her priorities include healthcare for all, clean water, stronger rural education, and better support for underrepresented communities—from family farms to those who identify as LGBTQ+ to individuals with disabilities. She aims to uplift Iowa’s underdogs.
WolfTornabane’s campaign refuses coporate PAC money and instead rellies entirely on community support. She is criscrossing the district, the largest in Iowa—which spans 36 counties in the western and north-central portions of the state—listening to constituents at county fairs, and invites supporters to help fuel the effort—literally.
