Justin Knight was a 2016 Democratic candidate for District 25 of the Iowa House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

2016

Knight's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Healthcare

  • Excerpt: "Important tests and medications go unapproved, being forced to go to one specific doctor or clinic with a three month wait for an appointment, and lack of consistency in care are just a few of the things that are unacceptable. Privatizing these programs will only exacerbate the current flaws! We must fix our current system not hand it over to corporations."

Education

  • Excerpt: "Over time our schools have underwent major changes that we did not plan for, now is the time to make education a priority to ensure every Iowan has the right to a great education."

Cannabis

  • Excerpt: "I fully support legalizing cannabis in Iowa. With proper regulation and taxation we can overcome the obstacles we face ensuring we properly fund our education system."

Mental health

  • Excerpt: "Jails are not treatment centers. While Governor Terry Branstad closed down [treatment] facility after facility, the prison system became even more predominantly the only option for the mentally ill."
