Submitted Biography: "I am a public servant, a proven leader, a lifelong Iowan, a prosecutor, and former state legislator. I am running to put people before politics and fight for Iowa families. I grew up in Washta and graduated from the last class of Willow Community High School. During summers while in college, I worked at my parents’ agricultural business. I earned my undergraduate degree at Iowa State University. After receiving my law degree, I worked at a law firm in Chicago for three years. I current live in Lawton and have lived in Woodbury County for the past twenty-three years. I have been a public servant for the citizens of Iowa for 18 years, working as prosecutor for Woodbury County, where I specialize in cases involving child abuse. I have been an active member of my community. I was a former coach at Sioux City West High School and previously served as a church elder. I have been a union member with AFSCME for over twenty years. I have served on several non-profit boards, including serving as legal counsel for the Community Action Agency of Siouxland, which oversees local programs for Head Start and Early Head Start. In 2012 and 2014, I was elected to the Iowa House of Representatives, where I earned a reputation as someone who worked across party lines to achieve positive outcomes for my constituents. In 2016, I received the Gold Star Award from Iowa State Sheriffs’ and Deputies’ Association for leadership in the legislature on law enforcement and public safety issues."

Submitted Biography: "I am Stephanie Steiner — a retired women’s health nurse, mother of seven, lifelong advocate for civil rights and social justice, and a proud small-farm owner running for Congress in Iowa’s 4th District. I’m married to my best friend, Mark Steiner, and together — along with our three youngest children — we run a small goat livestock operation on our acreage outside Sutherland, Iowa. Life on the farm keeps us grounded in the values that define our district: hard work, family, and community. My story begins in Athens, Alabama, where I started kindergarten in a segregated school. When I was eight, my father lost his job, and our family began moving frequently in search of work — at one point seven times in six months. I attended six different schools that year, always the new kid, and was bullied relentlessly because of it. Those experiences taught me resilience, empathy, and the importance of standing up for others who feel unseen. As a nurse, I witnessed how broken our healthcare system is. When my ex-husband, Merlin, died from untreated COPD because he couldn’t afford his medication, I knew I had to fight for change. I’m running for Congress to bring empathy, compassion, and common sense back to Washington — to ensure every Iowan has a voice and that policy once again reflects the real lives of the people it impacts."

Dave Dawson (D)
I will invest in rural communities. I will work to expand broadband, repair roads and bridges, strengthen family farms, make housing more affordable, and support small businesses, all to keep our communities strong. When farmers do well, the whole community does well.
I will work to raise incomes and increase competition. I will push for policies that raise wages, support working families, and crack down on corporate monopolies that hurt farmers and small business owners. I believe in an economy where hard work pays off.
Affordability & Dignity: I’ll fight to make healthcare, housing, childcare, and everyday living affordable for all Iowans.
Justice & Opportunity: I’ll defend civil rights, protect our water and farms, and strengthen rural communities — because every Iowan deserves stability, dignity, and a fair shot at a better life.
Dave Dawson (D)
Dave Dawson (D)
First and foremost, that means listening — truly listening — to the people you serve. As a retired women’s health nurse, I spent years listening to patients, families, and communities in crisis. I learned that when people are heard and respected, healing and progress can begin. The same principle applies to governing: leadership must start with compassion and understanding.
A member of Congress must also be accessible and accountable, showing up in every corner of the district — rural and urban alike — to understand the real challenges people face. Too many politicians forget who they work for once they arrive in Washington. I believe in government that stays connected, transparent, and grounded in the people’s reality, not political convenience.
It is also the duty of Congress to craft and support policies that improve people’s lives — ensuring affordable healthcare, good schools, fair wages, clean water, and a sustainable future for our family farms and small towns. These are not partisan issues; they are human ones.
Finally, every elected leader has a solemn responsibility to protect democracy itself — defending civil rights, upholding the Constitution, and standing firm against corruption, extremism, and abuse of power. Our democracy only works when leaders honor their oath to serve all people with integrity and courage.
In short, the job of a member of Congress is to listen, represent, and lead with empathy — ensuring government serves the people, not the other way around.
Dave Dawson (D)
Unlike the Senate, the House is designed to reflect the diversity and energy of the nation. Each representative brings a local perspective that, together, forms a picture of America as it truly is — dynamic, diverse, and grounded in everyday experience.
The House also holds the power of the purse and the responsibility to initiate legislation that impacts people’s lives most directly. It is where debate, negotiation, and public accountability take shape.
At its best, the House embodies the heart of democracy — a place where every district, no matter how large or small, has a voice in shaping the nation’s future. That closeness to the people is what makes the House not just a governing body, but a living reflection of the country itself.
Dave Dawson (D)
The vast majority of members in the U.S. House are lawyers, political insiders, or financial elites. While there is value in understanding the law, this narrow background does not reflect the diverse makeup of the American people. Too often, these individuals are far removed from the struggles that working families face — trying to afford healthcare, childcare, groceries, housing, or simply make ends meet. That lack of lived experience leads to policies that fail to meet the needs of everyday Americans.
We need nurses, teachers, farmers, laborers, machinists, union workers, small-business owners, and parents in Congress — people who understand what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck, to worry about medical bills, or to fight for fair wages and safe workplaces. These are the voices that can bring balance, honesty, and common sense back to Washington.
Public service should never be about political career building. It should be about listening, serving, and representing the real people who make this country work. I believe the strength of our democracy depends on electing representatives who truly reflect the communities they serve — people who know firsthand the struggles and hopes of everyday Americans.
Dave Dawson (D)
We must rebuild confidence in government by ensuring accountability, transparency, and respect for the Constitution. Our institutions — the Department of Justice, Customs and Border Protection, the Department of Education, and many others — have suffered from political manipulation, neglect, and loss of public faith. These agencies must be repaired and rebuilt to function as fair, ethical, and independent guardians of the public good.
At the same time, we must close the loopholes that have allowed those in power to chip away at democratic norms, manipulate the courts, and exploit weaknesses in the system for personal or political gain. Congress must act decisively to strengthen checks and balances, protect voting rights, defend the rule of law, and prevent future abuses of power.
Equally urgent is repairing the damage to our foreign relations. The United States cannot lead globally if we are divided and unstable at home. We must rebuild trust with our allies, reaffirm our commitments to diplomacy and human rights, and restore America’s credibility as a reliable partner in addressing global challenges — from security and climate change to humanitarian crises and economic fairness.
Ultimately, our greatest challenge — and greatest opportunity — lies in restoring faith in democracy itself. We must remind the nation and the world that American leadership, when grounded in truth, empathy, and integrity, remains a force for good.I believe representatives should serve two four-year terms, with clear term limits to prevent career politicians from holding power indefinitely. A longer term would allow representatives to dedicate their time to legislation, constituent service, and oversight — the work they were elected to do — instead of constantly running for re-election.
Alongside term limits, we must also enact campaign finance reform to reduce the influence of big money in politics. Representatives should answer to the people, not to wealthy donors or corporate interests. By extending the term length, setting firm limits, and reforming campaign finance laws, we can help restore integrity, accountability, and focus to Congress — making it a body that truly serves the people rather than politics.

John Lewis showed us what it means to make “good trouble” in defense of democracy and human dignity. Barbara Jordan embodied wisdom, grace, and the power of truth spoken with purpose. Both led by example — with service grounded in justice and a deep belief in people’s capacity for good.
Like them, I don’t see leadership as commanding from the top, but as standing beside people, fighting for their rights, and listening to their needs. I aspire to carry their same spirit of courage and empathy — using my platform not to divide, but to bring people together and make government worthy of the people it serves.One mother shared how her son, born with severe disabilities, depends on Medicaid for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and respite care. She told me through tears that without these services, her son simply wouldn’t survive. No parent should ever live with that kind of fear in a nation as wealthy as ours.
I’ve listened to farmers forced to sell land that’s been in their families for generations, sometimes to trusted neighbors, just hoping they’ll be able to buy it back one day. It’s heartbreaking to see how corporate consolidation and policy failures are driving family farms out of existence.
I’ve also spoken with young adults leaving Iowa because they can’t find good-paying jobs or affordable housing — and perhaps most devastatingly, with members of the LGBTQ+ community who feel they must leave the only home they’ve ever known. Too many live in constant fear of harassment or even physical harm. Some have told me they’ve made the painful choice to move to “blue” states where they can simply exist safely, be themselves, and not live in fear in their own homes.
These stories weigh heavily on me because they represent what’s at stake — our humanity, our sense of community, and our shared responsibility to protect one another. They are the reason I’m running for Congress: to fight for affordable healthcare, fair opportunities, family farms, equality, and the right for every Iowan — regardless of who they are — to live freely and safely in the state they call home.Good compromise happens when leaders come together to solve real problems — improving healthcare access, rebuilding rural infrastructure, expanding broadband, or strengthening family farms. These are areas where honest dialogue and cooperation can deliver tangible results for the people we serve.
However, compromise should never mean turning a blind eye to injustice or sacrificing human rights, equality, or the rule of law for political convenience. There are principles — such as protecting democracy, defending civil rights, and ensuring every person’s dignity — that must remain non-negotiable.
Real leadership means knowing when to reach across the aisle to move the country forward and when to stand firm to protect what is right. I believe in working with anyone, from any party, who is willing to put people before politics and seek solutions that strengthen our nation and serve all Americans.
Dave Dawson (D)
Healthcare is not a luxury; it’s a basic human right. Every year, tens of thousands of Americans die simply because they can’t afford care or medication. We spend more per person on healthcare than any nation in the world, yet millions remain uninsured or underinsured. That is unacceptable. The House must take the lead in redirecting tax dollars away from corporate subsidies and into healthcare programs that guarantee access for all — regardless of income, employment, or zip code.
I will also fight to close tax loopholes for billionaires and large corporations, ensuring they pay their fair share. Those funds should be reinvested into the people — through affordable healthcare, prescription drug reform, education, clean water, and rural infrastructure that uplifts families instead of burdening them.
The constitutional power of the purse isn’t just about numbers — it’s about values. Budgets are moral documents that reflect who and what we care about. My priority will always be to ensure that every dollar spent represents a step toward justice, equality, and opportunity — and that includes building a healthcare system where no one is left behind.If elected, I would support using congressional investigations to hold those in power accountable — regardless of political party. That includes exposing corruption, conflicts of interest, misuse of public funds, and abuses of authority within government agencies or by elected officials. No one should ever be above the law in the United States — not the President, not members of Congress, and not appointed officials.
The House must also ensure that investigations focus on issues that directly impact the public — such as healthcare access, corporate price gouging, environmental negligence, and government waste — rather than endless political theater.
Oversight is not about scoring points; it’s about protecting the people’s interests and restoring faith in the institutions meant to serve them. The investigative power of the House is one of the greatest tools we have to ensure our government remains honest, just, and accountable to the people — not to power or party.Artificial intelligence has enormous potential to improve healthcare, education, agriculture, and energy efficiency, but it also carries serious risks — from job displacement and privacy violations to bias, misinformation, and misuse by foreign or domestic actors.
I believe we need strong federal standards to ensure AI is transparent, accountable, and used responsibly. That includes protecting workers whose jobs may be impacted by automation, safeguarding personal data and privacy, and preventing AI from being weaponized or used to spread disinformation.
The government should also invest in ethical research and workforce retraining, ensuring that innovation strengthens communities rather than leaving them behind. Technology must always remain under human control — guided by laws, ethics, and the shared goal of improving lives, not exploiting them.
AI should serve humanity — not replace or endanger it. The role of government is to make sure it does exactly that.First, I would propose a National Voter Protection and Access Act to guarantee automatic voter registration, same-day registration, and secure vote-by-mail options for federal elections. Every eligible American should be able to vote easily and confidently.
Second, an Election Integrity and Audit Transparency Act would require verifiable paper ballots, risk-limiting audits, and public reporting of results. It would also provide funding for states to modernize election systems and improve cybersecurity.
Third, a Fair Districting and Campaign Finance Reform Act would create independent redistricting commissions to end partisan gerrymandering and require full transparency for campaign and election spending, including eliminating dark money.
Fourth, I would support an Election Oversight and Accountability Act to strengthen federal oversight, prevent misuse of election funds, and hold officials accountable for unethical or illegal conduct.
Finally, I would champion a Protection of Voting Rights and Election Workers Act to safeguard voters and election staff from intimidation, harassment, or disinformation.
Free and fair elections are the foundation of our democracy. Every citizen deserves equal access to the ballot box and the absolute assurance that their vote will be counted, protected, and respected.
