Zach Wahls

Zach Wahls represents District 37 in the Iowa Senate and he is the Iowa Senate Democratic Leader. Wahls first gained national attention when his testimony before the Iowa House Judiciary Committee about growing up with gay parents went viral and became YouTube’s most-watched political video of 2011.

He became an advocate for LGBTQ rights, co-founding and serving as executive director of Scouts for Equality, which led the national campaign to successfully end the Boy Scouts of America’s decades-old ban on gay people.
