Penny Vossler (D)
Chronically underfunding public education at all levels in IOWA has led to a slide from 1st in the nation to 24th. If mediocrity was the goal, congratulations. We must provide the tools for the children of Iowa to complete in a global job market.
The crisis of climate change is upon us, and we must work to prepare for and mitigate the impacts of the new more violent climate.
