| Collapse all
- Public Education: While I am a supporter of education and of all teachers, I focus on supporting Public Education. Public Education is the pathway to success for all Iowans. Iowa used to be proud of being a national leader in public education and it is troubling to see Iowa slide down the ratings over the past decade. I support full funding of Public Education at all levels, and the rate of increase of funding needs to be tied to the rate of inflation. There also needs to be an additional 1% per year until funding is at 2000 levels, adjusted for inflation.
- Healthcare: Access to health care services for all Iowans is becoming increasingly difficult. This is not just a problem with insurance coverage, but a problem of providers being available in all areas. Iowa needs innovative solutions that partner the public and private sectors to improve access to medical care, especially mental health care, dental care, and affordable access to medications.
- Preparation & Civility: My years of experience and training have prepared me to be an effective legislator. Regardless of our backgrounds, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, or religious views, Iowans have much in common and together we can get things done.
While we all have the "perfect" outcome as a goal, any policy maker should have a minimum outcome that they are willing to accept and to be flexible as to what they will accept between those two borders.
